The kids were waiting excitedly for me when I arrived at 9. We had to wait for the others to picked up as we were the last group, so I knew we would be a waiting a while. Luckily they have spent a lot of time pasting time without games and they quickly found things to do. Including jungling empty bottles and their favourit; football with an empty water bottle. Just as they were getting really anxious the bus arrived.
We toured the school before they were told the rules of the school and given a lesson on hygene. They were told that they should clean their teeth before and after eating, when they wake up and when they go to bed. They were also told that they should have AT LEAST 2 showers a day but more if they can. I was completely blown away. These kids have better hygene then me, I was tought that more than one shower is wasting water. However it is true that here in Guayaquil when your constantly covered in sweat it is nice to shower and feel clean for 5 minutes afterwards.
We then gave them time to play outside, followed by lunch with the other students. We have about 40 potential students, which is almost as many kids as we already have in the school so the school will be growing significantly.
We then told them the time and day of their house visits. They were all asking what we are doing tomorrow. They were expecting to meet up and play at the park again so were disappointed that they won't be seeing us again till next Monday.
To be honest, I'm a bit sad too. I've really enjoyed playing with them.
Oh and none of the bonice boys showed up :(
