First contact

This past week we had our first contact with the children, we did not give classes we just did some activities to make the children feel comfortable and with the feeling of wanting to go back next week. This also was a strategy to measure the level of English that the children posses, I was stunned when I found out that they had a level of English that was higher that what I expected.

Most of the time I offer my self as volunteer, and so I did this time. While being the first can be a frightening experienced to some people, I find that is quite interesting. I proceed with the greetings and my introduction, then the children introduce themselves. I chose to do the "hot potato" activity, in summary everything went as planned, with the exception that the first child that was asked to do an activity did not do it, now I have some countermeasures if this happens again.

This week is my first class with this group, I hope everything goes great.

 For me this was one of the best experiences that I have had so far in my career.
