Hello everyone,
Just a quick update on how things our going our end of the line.
So we have no w started PEPE properly and have been given a timetable of what we are likely to be doing over the next 4 months which is nice to know. For PEPE we have been split into pairs, Tim and Sophie and the Anna and myself, in different pepe´s. In the PEPE that i have been working in me and Anna have got to know the kids reasonably well, well as best we can with the language barrier, which has proved hard at times... but we are getting there. It was hard at first, when not going to the PEPE but now we are there things are going really well and we are enjoying it. and i get to paint again! haha!
As far as the next 4 months are concerned, we will be stopping PEPE on the 3rd of December, and then we will be helping with PEPE graduation, which is where the older ones move out and go to "real school" then we will be spending 2 weeks in the communties of the PEPEs one week in each communtiy, and then that takes us to Christmas, where we are just stauing in the church and seeing what happens, and then we get to new year, which apparently is massive here... so YAY! We will then take a short holiday in order to catch up on some sleep and relax... as getting up at 4.45 everyday takes it out of you haha! we are then going away for 5 days with the church on a mission trip to another city, which i am incredibly excited about, and cannot wait for! after that we can take the rest of our 10 days off, and then that takes us straight into a week of EPEP training, where we are training up new teachers for PEPE. and the PEPE begins in Febuary, and we are there right up until the end in March.
The team are all well here, and we are all getting along well and things are much better now that Julia is out of Hospital, it was nothing major, but she had a fever and was out of action for 2 weeks.
I hope that this finds you well,
God Bless.
Ben
