Catchy Slogans For Juice

look back at my first month

is now the first twelve months passed. Looking back, I must say that I have experienced this month very much. A lot of new experiences and impressions dominate this very first month. In my first review you've experienced my first week was. Some of the technological genanten new impressions I had processed over time, other process I'm still alive. What I notice is that everything takes time. Initially brasste everything at me, I had absolutely no sense of direction and could remember nothing. In time, I feel all doing fine. Firstly, the Dalla Dalla drive. Dalla Dallas, the city buses, small Japanese car buses that are full of bruised people. When I saw the first time, I thought I should ever take these buses alone. Now it works, but it's very chaotic. First, the scramble at the entrance and the other watching, that I do not get stolen or to know which bus goes in which direction. Washing or going to the toilet are no problems after that was done several times, you get the best techniques out already. Similarly, the food with your right hand, without silverware, was at first funny, But the yes is not a problem as a child we all have eaten with hands. On what I still must get used to the overall volume is here. To me it seems so as if I took ear plugs out of the ear since I'm here. Whether it's the loud music in the bars, the TV or home stereo or car radio now, everything here is always turned up fully and then with full bass. Since I already enjoy the odd power cut, the more often occurrences. Similarly, the Tanzanians have a very powerful and impressive voice. In addition to the start of the school, of whom you know already, I have in my spare time also experienced a lot. So I was, for example, the first time in the Indian Ocean . Baden We made a trip to South Beach, the most beautiful stand section of Dar Es Salaam. The water was very warm, the white fine sandy beach was wonderfully soft under my feet and stuck out in the background many palm trees. How is the Indian Ocean just so imagine. Among other things, I was now also the first time in the City Centre. There, every day is a typical African market, with lots of people who are there on the way, here is hardly room to walk and then squeeze still honking cars in between. Here you get on the road really all it takes. Barker would not be here indispensable. After my third week I was standing before a long weekend. As more than eindrittel the Tanzanian Population are Muslims, Sunday and Monday were holidays, because of Ramadan was over. Two Muslim friends of George invited us to dinner on Sundays. For them it was the first meal of the day for several weeks. After dinner they took us to downtown, where a great feast was celebrated. All Muslims were able to come here and demonstrations, could view such as in karate. George and I were probably the only Christians there, we were received with joy. The next day I showed George with two other friends in the Coco Beach. Here was full of people, as was a holiday, yes. The beach was crowded and was also played on a big stage live music. This beach is on the local population is very popular. People were only the first ten feet in the water, since no one can swim. My Swahili is so slow and his GUIDELINES. At first I could not, as I said, hold nothing really, but in the last, fourth week I could start this now also. Since the second week I had to fight the cold, which will not heal. I also got a flu infection at the end of the month with suspected typhoid fever (which turned out not to luck), because I stupidly careless drunk unboiled water. That was once an experience that I'll have to deal with me, whether sooner or later. Stupid is that I two days I missed in school.

My first days in the Dom.Rep!

Yes, now it's finally my first round mail. There is much to tell and I wonder if all this is to put into words what I experienced in the last days here. It all began with the flight from Frankfurt to Paris and then with the other volunteers on Punta Cana to Santo Domingo. There we were picked up by AFS volunteers and - after the matter was with a lost luggage (fortunately not mine) resolved - brought by bus to our Arrival-camp. A mega villa with pool and lots Open space! Stunningly beautiful! There is a lot then I ns also 05.00hd e time throwing up i bed.

The next 2 days we spent there, so, somewhere outside of Santo Domingo and were ready again to the rites and customs of the Dominican Republic. What we will probably all fall hardest is "indirectly can" of the Dominicans. They say that is not directly "No, you must not" or "Do something, even clean your room" but somehow beautiful package it possible to to hurt anyone. trying to find out whether there is now still in order, to take pleasure or the like, to me is determined not fall long hard.

On Wednesday it was then back towards Santo Domingo and the AFS office there. There we were divided, some money was given for the bus and then it went off for them in their new home towns. The rest of us stayed there and felt for hours, I finally picked up by my host family. Consisting of Karla, my host sister (19) and Juana, my host mom. We are then taking the car Drove home, we live here in an apartment, I have my own room and it's really nice here. Wednesday had unpacked I had gone to the hairdresser with Karla and evening we went with friends from Karla in a "bar", which calls itself "Shots". I was however so tired that I dance, instead of everyone else, just hung in my chair and wanted to go to bed. Sorry!

The Thursday started already rested and then we went by car towards the project. This is at the other end of town, so it really takes long to get there. Thursday was also the setting - due to a holiday, closed on Monday so I can when I start working, the first time a proper look at it. Fortunately, I am going to Yanays there, another volunteer who has been working since January in my project and lives here in my area.

But on to Thursday. Since then we are on ' s Land GEFA lead to a feast for the Virgin Mercedes (Or something?), Namely the holiday was Thursday. It was really interesting, very poor conditions, but still, people were happy and cheerful! However, it was pretty hot in there, even for my family, so we're pretty gone quickly.

evening I was still with my host mom in the church. That was really interesting, but unfortunately I have of the half-hour sermon understood nothing except the word "homosexualidad. Because I would really interested in what the priest said about but I did not dare ask, do not enter that one is in a faux pas. Nevertheless, it was exciting, so here are 95% of the population Catholic, and had just my family.

Yesterday was no longer so much going on, my host sister was, just as today - on Saturday - in the university and after that we were just at a friend of hers, where the had improved had something for both the university and I see my English with CSI.

The friend, however, had an impressive house and I think I'm now really views as the Upper-class lives here!

Today we drive there probably still go there and then to the movies tonight with friends from Karla. Let's see what the day brings an extent.

All in all it likes me better than me, but I'm also looking forward, on Monday finally start work. Right now I have to do here just not as much and as my host mother speaks only English is the conversation but still a bit meager.

The world here is different, but not as different as it is thought in some way. But is probably on balance my family, I was so far only very briefly in the slums of the town and the life was quite different! Anyway, I'm curious to see what life brings me here so and keep you informed on our latest news!

My first hours as a teacher

Three weeks have now gone by in which I've experienced a lot. Above all, I've collected a lot of new impressions and made some new perceptions. The school was now moving very. get to know after two weeks, getting used to incorporate and have now also started to teach. End of the second week I started music in the first class to teach. The first time I faced a whole class teaching. The students greeted me love with the words "Good Morning Teacher Jonas". The teachers here are all addressed by their first names. That was a weird but nice feeling. And once you no longer students and now times three months after graduating from high school you are already teachers. In a school lockers I found recorders and they brought along. Each student has now received one, she immediately began to blow into it. The attention I received but very fast and then she looked at me with big curious eyes. I showed them how to hold a flute and I played the first, simplest tone A with the left hand and three fingers. Of course I told them not to say how this tone. In the first class, they should just learn to play only what is already hard enough for them. For them it was very hard her fingers in the correct position to hold and then also the holes properly recorded. Actually, no one got a fine sound out. Mausche Bliesen much to be pure and then there were again which is not quite believe. In addition, many took the flute too far into the mouth. I've gone to every one at the table and showed again just how it works. Mausche got it just does not hold to the holes, they also do not even get it that you get a different tone when one holds the holes. Since I've played them a bit, unfortunately I only had Christmas in the head and then I'm not a born flute player. I also played flute years not more, but hopefully it will long for the first class. Now that I have showed everyone how they have to hold the flute properly and now could whistle all a reasonably good form A, G, I took the third pitch to the one played with the left hand and four fingers. They have now got it a little faster. At the end of the day we played alternately A and G. Of course, has not sounded Binding free, but a small difference in sound could be perceived. In the second hour, I brought them with other wood flutes, with which one can learn easier. After everyone had his flute in hand, I've noticed that they have retained nothing from the first hour. I could start again from zero. Few could have the handles, others do not like rum, they should keep the flute and which side did you blow into it. The carved wooden flutes are easier to hold. Again, I went from table to table and have each shown individually how to hold a flute, plays and blows. Then I let every single audition, and then all together. This time we came not to the tone G to play.
At the beginning of the third week I began to computers in the seventh grade to teach. Now I had occupied not by the youngest of the school in front of me but the oldest. This was something completely different. In the seventh grade are 18 students, unfortunately, the school has only 6 usable computer, so we divided the class into three groups. In the first hour I start the students have a computer in her notebook on the first page to draw and asked for what and why to use a computer at all. Then I told them of what constitutes a computer and how it turns on and boots up, told them how to use the mouse for what is the Start Button, which are the folders and how it then goes back down. Most of the children have never used a computer or use. Here I'm starting completely from scratch. This I have noticed especially in the first hour than I have any PC's to boot. None of them knew what to do, she clicked on it wildly. That was a lesson to me and so I ramped up in the second hour to the next set only once just a computer and they there shown everything. In the third and final group is of course everything worked out.

The beginning of my long journey

After very loving and painful goodbye at Frankfurt airport, my flight began on 29 August 2009 at 15.10 clock in the direction of Cairo, where I had a three-hour stay and from there we went on to Dar Es Salaam. Clock at 5:15 I landed, but I was picked up before 8 clock by a teacher and the school bus driver. They took me to the family in which I am now housed for the next few weeks for now. On the streets of Dar Es Salaam, I can not get out of the shows. The new culture had me under its spell, the people, the streets, the houses (more like cabins, slams like that). At the beginning we took the small school bus briefly on a paved road, but to come to the family, we went over CROSSIG, hilly, sandy bumpy, which I would normally deal only with the cross bike. Very few roads here are paved and level. I arrived in Africa and the first day in Tanzania had begun. The family took me on quite the same welcome to all my names were very much Welcome words "Welcome" and "feel at home". My room and my bed I share me with the 25-year-old son George, he studied in northern Tanzania near Mount Kilimanjaro in Moschi, holiday and just for this time at home. Since the first day, he cares very good care of me and helps me a lot with the situation they get right. When he called me by our district led Tabata, where there is not a paved road, I watched almost all people. I felt the first time like an attraction, especially among children. They ran, laughing and looking around me and shouted "Mzungu" which means white person in Swahili. In the family in the can I am staying there are 5 children all of which are adopted as Edith (my host mother) do not bear children. Life here is not to compare with our European. The house where I live now is very small, has three bedrooms, living room with kitchen, which is already higher standard of living. The cooking is done outside the house. The toilet is also the shower is not in the house. In front of the house is a small Einraumhäuschen if you can call it that, where there is a hole in the ground, like a French toilet. Instead of toilet paper, water is used, with which you also wash - running water and showers are not. You eat with your hands or rather with the right hand, as it ended with his left hand on the toilet his business. However, there are also spoon, which you may use. In the beginning it was very hard to know the new customs and zulernen they cope. I still need some time to settle, but it's very fun to discover this new way of life and are going to really live. I notice that it goes forward.

The next day my first day began in the Hekima Waldorf School. At the beginning I have the things and given a detailed letter of my predecessor, by whom I was acquainted with my new tasks. To start this came before me very much, but if you understand it very quickly incorporating the what is at stake. In addition, I am not alone, the next day was Albert. Albert is another volunteer from Germany, I was allowed to meet at the training seminar. Together we have moved forward faster directly. We have the main responsibility for the orphanage project of the school, which I will come another time to talk to even more accurate. There are more of our areas of responsibility to manage the school library, add tutoring and computer classes and help with the gardening. Albert and I were also other proposals, such as music lessons, sports lessons and crafts that we could bring to the school. This enjoyed Edward and Casmir, school administrators much. Thursday I had my first teacher conference, which will be every Thursday. Albert and I have been here once before all the teachers and nursery trays, also participated, are presented. Friday has begun then the first weekend. Together with my host parents and two friends we are at sea, the Indian Ocean, driven and have eaten very tasty fresh fish. Fine white sand, self-built wooden fishing boats and a fresh sea breeze.

Tio Jonas

Sun Since Monday, I am now officially "Jonas Tio (Tio = uncle) in the Salacuna Millaray. The children I look after are all about 2 years old, in the Sala next door fits Tia Regina the children until a year. Because Millaray is rather small, there is a pleasant family working atmosphere. The children I was very quickly accepted as a new Tio and climb on my back, screaming while "Caballo, caballo! (= Horse) or want me to take her in his arms and throw into the air. Then the music turned on and the Tias grab her hip movement, and the children demonstrate their sophisticated Rhythmusgefuehl and I realize the stiffness and seriousness of my German genes.

The houses that are up now inhabited in part by two volunteer generations to be more empty. Slowly all the ex-volunteers RETURN fly to Germany. The departure is usually a fairly traenenreiche matter and we are more and more new on our own. Furthermore

is to report that has been in the volunteer house in Renca already broken 2 times. Benni runs since then in short pants (at about 15 degrees) around, as all his trousers were stolen. The biggest loss is probably the laptop that has taken the burglar.

Despite this shocking news I feel home here very much and I'm always pleased to receive your emails!
