Another rainy day in Quito, January is pretty much rain season.
Going hopefully to the beach for new years though.
Christmas went well, we were invited to a family christmas last minute, very hospitable. A very spicy grandmother, a very bad bottle of wine bought by us, first hour spent sipping it very slowly and everyone praising it to heavens..
it was very casual, something quite different from what I´m use to, the food was quite normal, no real rules and set times for things, really comfortable. the family has an adorable golden-retriever puppy, 2 months who stole everyones attention.

The project is rolling on, we´ve organised a few things, like a theater and singing group, set times for some sports, fruit days, lesson times etc. so I think we´ll start moving forward now.
alot of the children have huge lice which we spent ages picking out today, hmm.

I don´t know what we´ll do with the money yet. perhaps the best would be to try and send some children to a real school as it is more than difficult to teach them in the centre.. then the question ofcourse arises who, and then even less children will spend the morning alone and working, so. .have to check out prices for schools, atleast for a year.
We´ll also try and buy some socks and clothes for the children, giving the money to the nuns will be absolutely no good, unless there is a clear plan for what they need to do with it.

Alone at the hostel, as Dela moved to the project for a week,
vamos a ver..
when I can move out..
Take care all,
Laura
