3 days untill x-mas
A little bit more text with the images I finally managed to post today. It has been so hectic since I arrived here that I didn t have the chance to up-date my blog. Ladriella is going on full speed again with a lot of themed activities as food pyramid, health, family and of course x-mas. They have being asking me every day for the last weeks when `santa s` coming and due to our activity this saturday he will be coming real soon now. Saturday we had a shopping spree for no less then 88 pairs of shoe. Picking them out, negociating and checking sizes en cleaness (found shoes with egg on them,...) took no less then 4 hours and 4 people. We will be giving them out this tuesday so if we need to exchange them we have time wednesday. I hope this will all be possible in the x-mas spirit because if have had mothers and kids from all over requesting me for shoes this week. The reason this shoe initiave is possible is because of the generous donation of all the people for my nephew Simon who was born last week. Thanks to them (and of course simon and his parents) this is all achievable.
It is great to have a new life in the family after my bomma past away a few weeks ago.
Things have been very lively in Huancayo since I have two danish (Marie and Liene) and a canadian (Jilian) roomies. We saw all the corners of Huancayo this weekend walking to a beautifull mini theatre on friday, shopping saturday (after the 88 pairs I even managed to try on a pair myself which I will probably by -yes I know I can t believe it myself) and beauty treatment today. My juice girl -Sanaida- turns out to be beauty specialist -in wording- and gave me and Maire a hair cut. I also got some make up and am even thinking of getting my nails done. Unbelievable how may varieties you have for this. In exchange I have take her to lunch and cine.
The cine just opened her a few weeks and the biggest attraction are actually the -roltrap- as
a lot of people haven t experienced this yet and are scared of this (this has caused lines)
I will normally take some kids of Ladriella to the cine this week.It is really percular the clash between the traditional - tradional markets, people selling on the streets just 10 meters further- and things like plaza veal (mega market), the cine and fast foods like pizza hut opening soon. All this has only started in a half years time and I am curious to see how it will evolve. There is also a mall -peruviaans wijnegem- that should open next year.
Tomorrow two other volunteers should come to join us for the x-mas celebration. We will probably be 6 volunteers and 10 peruviaans for a lot of turkey, rice and appelmoes.
Tomorrow we will be baking `speculaas` with the children of ladriella. I am curious to see how much will eventually end up in the oven instead of there face and the ground.
The last weekend of the year will be spent in the jungle with the danish girl.
I wish all of you and your families a very merry x-mas and a warm kick-off of 2009!
