Rice, oreos and green tea

Here, the staple food is rice. I have rice for lunch, rice for dinner, and I'll usually have rice for breakfast. To mix things up I eat oreos and drink green tea. In all honesty the lack of range in food choices here makes me miss home so so much - especially Mum's cooking!
An average day for me consists of working with the kinder kids - who are three boys, Alejandro is three, Jhon is three and Jose-Luis is two. Yes, they are adorable and yes they are naughty. I then help organising all the books in the Biblioteca, they have so many book I want to read, but alas, they are all in spanish. Then there is lunch and tutoria, which is helping the kids with their homework.
The orphanage itself is situated just out of Trujillo, it's a desert, with sand-dunes behind it and the ocean across the road. There are seven other volunteers here, six from the US and one from Canada. For them, hot cross buns only exist in the song and packets of marshmallows consist of only white marshmallows - they must live a sad sad life deprived of hot cross buns and pink marshmallows. On the contrary, they have a zillion types of Reeses Pieces and Batman is from America. I love everyone here and get along with them really well, Ashley is my roommate. From Nebraska. It's kinda cool meeting people from all around the world and suddenly having an international spider web.

I'm sorry this post was merely facts and hugely uninspiring. But, actually, I don't really have an excuse, other than being uninspired.

Till next time
