Pregnant Craving Parsley
Hi everybody, today I
would imagine even a little bit of my organization (Horizonte Azul).
In all there are three different grounds. On one of them is our Volunteerhouse, which with 3 rooms and bath and living area (kitchen, dining room and living room in one) for 5 people is not too large. ;-) It is small but also really comfortable and mold on the ceiling bother me so far. (My roommate I have now met and finally he is super nice.)
are located on the main campus are also many houses, in which the older children (8-18 years employed). Whether by playing drums, make puppets, table tennis and many other things. It also includes some administrative buildings and the kitchen and the dining room for employees.
on any other grounds of maternal are I, II and III and the Bercario I and II The Maternal is children aged 3-4 years. Each group consists of 10-15 children and two Tias (caregivers). The day for the children at the Maternal looks like this: 7:30 clock arrival, breakfast, indoor games, snack (in the form of fruit) outdoor play, lunch, nap ... more I know, unfortunately, not yet, because I've worked only in the morning there. In Bercario the very small children are cared for (1-2 years). These children have to be careful, of course, even more than the others and so the children can not play along with the larger ones. Even outside, but separated from the others. The day is actually the same as for the children in the Maternal. All children be given about 7:30 clock from her parents there and picked up around 16:30 clock.
On the third and final area is the Horta (outside), is grown in the whole fruit and vegetables for horizons and Monte Azul. In addition, the facility where the waste is sorted, the Jardim I and II and the Pre-Escola (preschool). In the garden I've only worked one afternoon and weeds plucked. The pre-Escola is a Waldorf school, which lies just under construction. Currently there are only a first class (as of winter, so the new school year, there is a first and a second class). In Jardim children aged 4-6 years are cared for. This work has been my most fun. It is business as well as from the Maternal and Bercario, except that the children are just a little older.
Each of these three areas also has its own kitchen, is in the sometimes half-days worked by the volunteers. Each volunteer
must have to choose according to his settling-in period for an area. Either here to work with the elderly (which I've not yet met properly), the pre-Escola and the smaller ones (Bercario, Maternal and Jardim). Then I will each have a half day in the garden, working in the waste management facility or in a kitchen and the other half in the area for which I have decided.
For me, this acclimatization period just ended and now I've decided for a combination of two areas (which had none against). I will now work from half a day a week in the garden and the garbage sorting plant and the other days in the Jardim I and in two different groups of pre-Escola. This is also the area has given me the most. The children with whom I will work from now to January first are thus 4-7 years old.
Moreover, there is every Monday morning a meeting of us (the volunteers) with our coordinator and on Thursday afternoon, a meeting place of all employees instead of Horizonte Azul, in which it comes to organizational matters. And once a month there is a meeting of all employees, including with those of Monte Azul. This will take place there.
I think next time I will upload a few photos of my work area. until then ...
Kind regards Christian
