Another opportunity to help

This morning was my easy day. I had to wake up at 6 which stunk but all I had to do was help the other kids get ready for school and clean up. My day was done at 8 so I went back to the house, had some breakfast and started heating up some water for my shower. As I mentioned in my last post there is a container of water that we get our shower water from so I was boiling water to mix with the cold water in order to have a warm shower. Right when I finished filling the container a kid walked up and asked for Sylvan (one of the other volunteers) I told him he wasn´t there but then he told me that he was waiting for him so that he could have some English lessons. Naturally, I explained that I was from the US and I had a little experience in teaching English so I could help him. I worked with him for about an hour an a half with simple things such as ¨My name is, I am from, hello, how are you¨etc. He was very passionate about learning so it made it much easier and enjoyable for me. When I was finished, I went to take my shower and noticed that there was already someone in there. When she was done my hot water was all gone but I figure my time and hot water was little to give up in order to help someone else.

Also a little event that happened since my last post:

Yesterday was Lorrie, the girl from England´s, last day so one Wednesday night we decided to go out to a discoteca. We first went to one that they usually went to but it was 10:30 so it was empty. We then went up the street to anoher one that was open and so we started dancing. I quickly learned that Peruvian ¨Salsa¨is very different from the little salsa that I know but the good part is that I was with a bunch of French people that really didn´t know how to salsa either. It was getting a little late so about 6 of us left the club around 3 to come back and go to bed. We lock the door with a combination lock when we leave and so we put in the combination to open it and...nothing happend... I asked Matt and Carine if they were sure that the combination was right and they said yes they had done it before, the combination is 9042. Well...it obviously wasn´t b/c we couldn´t get in. We then went through the other door to the porch area that was locked but we were able to crawl under or climb over ther door (I chose climbing) and then we got in and were able to go to sleep. About an hour later the other group showed up and so we told them the lock wasn´t working to which they replied ¨the combination is 4290...OOPS!!
