The Giver & African Hut
This week as been really fun!
Spanish classes seem to be going pretty well and with the feedback that I am getting everyone else is enjoying it as well.
Maya and Pachan outside the theater where we saw "The Giver"
The kids and I went to the play The Giver. For those of you who do not know the book, it is about a fictional perfect world where everyone is the same, there is no color, there is no war, people share their feelings, there is no concept of love, your job and your family are chosen for you by a group of elders. As you could see, the world isn't perfect after all. The kids agreed that there where some pretty great things about that world but could not imagine a world where there was no color and no one had a choice if they were seen as individuals or not.
I love when we have discussion session because I learn just as much from them as they learn from me.
After the play we went to a restaurant called African Hut. There were different dishes from all over Africa that the kids could try, but in the end they all mostly ate chicken(?) They said that it did not seem right to order something they had no idea about when they could eat something that they knew that they would eat:) I hope as time goes by we become more adventurous in the variety of foods with the more experiences that we have.
