Village Schedule

There is so much to tell now in the beginning of it all, so I’m simply gonna post a schedule of what the days here look like.

5-6 Electricity and internet is on.

5-6 Breakfast (and believe it or not but Kelsey usually gets me out for a morning jog as well…and I do enjoy it, saying hello to the people that are out working in the rice field or on their way to school or work.)

6.30 Truck leaves for market. (This is a nice time to spend with the chef of the cluster I eat in.)

7-10 Children go to local school. Nursery and Pre-school starts in the village. (I usually go in and read an English story or sing with the pre-school children for half an hour.)

10.30 Lunch.

11-13 Children’s rest time. (Super hot time of day and I usually try to just relax and read or have a nap.)

13-17 Lessons in the village. (The volunteers have their own classroom where we teach English to the children, 4 one hour classes from grade 1-10. There are two of us right now, but we will be four shortly.)

17 Dinner.

18 Medicine time for the children.

17-19 Playtime (this is my favorite time of the day…it’s a little bit cooler and all the kids are just out playing no matter what age, and it’s so much fun to hang out with them.)

18-20.30 Electricity and internet is on (this however doesn’t mean that it’s always working, but mostly I’ve been able to connect.)

20.30 Lights are out, and there’s not much to do other than to go to bed. (Luckily I have my computer that I can have on and it’s gives me light to read for a little bit.)
