On Wednesday, 23.09. I left Manila, together with 17 other Negros WWF and our mentor and I am after about an hour's flight in Bacolod on Negros Island landed. From there, the most by their respective Parterorganisationen were picked up. So also we, who have snuggled up to fourth in the cab of a pickup. The increasingly impressive views towards the mountains, but also the lack of English skills of our driver and the lack Cebuanokenntisse our part, brought with it a certain reticence. This changed abruptly when we were ahead of schedule, arrived at our project site. There we were already expected by some people and also directly to a Begrüßungspräsenation and Introductions assembled and in one of the surprisingly impressive building of our "model farm" in a gorgeous natural setting. While the other two WWF was further brought to the city, we had a very delicious and sumptuous meal the way the employees, but also our predecessors still know shortly. There was also the time for a short tour and the change of ownership of a guitar, before the two had to leave. They left all kinds of useful things in the household but also some open questions, some candid questions, some deliberately left open to us to influence our opinions. Our home here seems outwardly, but inside compared to the usual small bamboo houses here, almost feudal, and is only three years old. Since we were released for the rest of the week to settle us, we drove the next day by bus down to San Carlos zuzulegen to us food supplies. This trip was quite an experience, although the ride itself only takes about half an hour. The bus was quite empty and the driver seemed quite in a hurry, so you could enjoy the spectacular views along the "snake road" not really. Go down, we made our first experience in Trycicle and could just get to know our freshly rented weekend home, live in the other two wwf our organization permanently. The following weekend we used, after a brief Cebuano unit with an employee / mentors the opportunity and went back into the city to spend the night and the following Sunday to spend. The company there, was already in the surprisingly comfortable and fully furnished house very pleasant and helped with the processing of the many new impressions. Sunday we pulled together and then going to visit for the first time a Philippine beach on the small offshore island. After we noticed that most beaches are among resorts, you pay for the relatively high cost, we actually found a public beach, which corresponded but less of the travel brochure images. Nevertheless, we had a very nice day and I took the opportunity to pick my first coconut itself! After so much excitement it was back then too comfortable in our new home remote screen. While we are here first treated very carefully and looked after, so that no revision have been possible, we try as quickly as possible, learn as much Cebuano. A few words can break up the mood, or triggered by surprise and Schlagfertikeit great laughter. But just the fact that here in our workplace, only about half of the 8-10 staff speaks English, the Cebuanolernen makes a very meaningful issue. Although our Haubtaufgaben first start slowly, especially since I have a lot to learn, first, we help at the moment with everything that arises Sun So we have two days mainly planted trees and tried to us the many new Cebuano terms that are applied on all sides to impress us. Although no talk of everyday life can be, and here we have used at least at the biorhythms and I for one would like to start in my small lab with the potato breeding to pursue apart from the language of new goals and success experiences. Another overall goal here is by the Cebuano and the work of the (volunteer) to escape tourist role ...
Greetings from the island
