My first 2 weeks have flown by....
It´s been just
over 2 weeks now since I arrived here in Costa Rica, and every day just seems
to get better out here! Every day I seem to be learning more about the
community of El Cocal and the children who come into the community centre. El Cocal is a small
peninsula which is just a 2 minute boat ride across the water from Boca Vieja, the second community we work in.
After only a few weeks, I have come to know all the children who attend
the community centre daily, and thoroughly enjoy my time with them, and have
grown particularly good at Bingo which one of the boys, Imer, insists on
playing daily! My Spanish has also improved during my time here due to my
Spanish lessons with two local teachers, Carlos and Runia. Spending time chatting to
the kids has also improved my Spanish, so I’m hoping over the next few months
it can only get better!
It’s amazing to
think that while I’m out here having such an amazing time; I am also making a
difference in this small community we are working in. By working in the
community centre, we are giving the children there something to do with their
time which would otherwise presumably be spent wandering around the streets of
El Cocal. Also by communicating in both Spanish and
English with the children, and by offering English classes, we are improving
their English language skills which can only benefit them in the future.
