hello brazil

hello

i am good, life is busy i am now working 6 days aweek, this life is so different from uganda. living in a big city is strange, seeing sky scrapers all around!! Instead of living in a rural area!!


my first week, has been busy every afternoon we have been out to visit the children´s projects!! and during the mornings we have been covering the following subjects
  1. respecting woman
  2. integilenece levels
  3. emotionals and problems with emotions

the projects we have been visiting the projects which are very exciting, this morning we have been out on the streets visiting the children!! The children are on the streets because they are abused or they are being treated really badly!!

we have 14 students on the course, from 10 nations!! we have many places to visit and work!! we will be working on a monday afternoon and on a wednesday and all day sat or sunday!! it is a very exciting time where i know we will be learning alot!! our placements include working in

  • a community centre in the slums
  • a pregant woman centre
  • at risk teenage girl centre
  • at risk teenage boy centre
  • street kids

every friday we will be working with the street kids on the street kids, leading worship, games, and just generally hanging out with them!!

This should be fun but a challenge!! I was so nervouse about being on the street for the first time today, the drunks and alcoholics have always scaried me!! but it was amazing to hang out and play football with them!! apart from the fact that I kicked the ball too hard and it went in the river!! one of the boys ran after it!!

bless u all loads!!
