Here is a brief update from the land of Quito. I'm posting some pictures (click the link above) of the kids that I work with (finally I know) and the awesome pool-looking place is Papallacta. They are beautiful hot-springs at a resort place that we went to the other day! It was amazing, and I hope you enjoy the post!
I've decided to try a new format to keep you guys updated easier. I've posted a video of me filling you guys in on what has been going on here in Quito. I hope you enjoy!
I forget to mention in the video about a project that I did last week called Book Bus. It was an Awesome Experience! We left the city early in the morning and got on a bus that was painted with books and some other cool graphics and they took us out to a school near the Mitad del Mundo.
We read the children books, and helped them draw pictures. I had a great time! I read the kids like 4 books all about animals and after we drew our favorite animals from the stories. Then I had them write the words for the animals in Spanish and then in English so they could practice. It was a really great experience and they travel all around Quito once a month! I can't wait to do it again! The pics below are from the Book Bus trip, NOT my volunteer project :)
