Hallöchen dear ones, it is time
jaa Time again to report anything new from Rondonopolis. I do not know where to start:)
I was 2 weeks ago with my host family on a ranch owned by the uncle of my host mother. There was a festival celebrated and celebrated the feast of St. Francis named after the small church on the Fanzenda is. There, I've really gotten to know many people total, all belonging to the family. And how it is in Brazil, I was naturally greeted with a warm kiss. One cousin took me Marisa (my host mother) is presented and then when she learned after the kiss that I'm living in Marisa's house, I was first pressed firmly. Ah, then she belongs to the family, she said only then. At the festival I met a niece of Marisa, me of course, as the Brazilians are added, the same invitation to do with it what the evening. With her and some friends the last few weeks I have done together. And so a bit Port found:)

was then on 12 celebrate October "Stop the crianças" (Children's Day), and since every opportunity is used to, this day was of course duly celebrated. There were some celebrations with many attractions for children. I was invited that evening to a party. A boy from a youth center had invited me to this and asked so many times and are soo excited when I thought I come. Later I learned that there is probably a meeting of a sect in which the child's mother recently a member. I could not disappoint the boys, of course. So I'm with Elisa, as a support point. So we sat on plastic chairs in the "Garden" (a garden here consists only of red dust), and have anghört any sermons on healing, etc.. Somehow we have managed it but then go to: P
sects in Brazil is truly a phenomenon in itself. Alone in my street, so around my house three sects are located. Many people who were actually a Roman Catholic, join the sects, because they will probably have something that lacking in the right church. But I will describe to you another time in detail. was
Back to "slide the Crianças" ... Even in the Jugenzentren it so special for the kids ... and a swimming pool while visiting! :) Naatürlich I am happy, that gigantic The 4 youth centers were divided into 3 different Saturdays!. And so it went the last two Samstagmorgende the pool with about 80 more children or even a few more. That was a lot of fun. For children this is usually the only chance in the year to come to the pool, and although there is indeed always soooo hot. Accordingly, no child could swim and some was the "deep" Water even scary and they would rather have gone with the other knee-deep splash pool. But yet all were huge enthusiasm. In the pool, the children were divided into 2 groups, which were successively into the water. The part that was not in the water level has made several games on the sports field. I've played with the children, water polo, or we have married together into depth (where I could stand without problems), that was great:)
This morning was actually the 3rd Swimming pool was visiting. But in Brazil the weather is sometimes not Sun So we had this morning at 6 clock when I got up, probably no pool used for bathing. The Puetzer had been out large enough to be P
In Here "cold". So 20 degrees and as I've gotten used to the heat, it's really cold for me. So I was sitting last at the table with four Brazilians in T-shirt and shorts were sitting there, and was laughed at because I was wearing a jacket and yes am from deeeem COLD Germany: P Yes, and then I also passion fruit juice-without sugar drunk .... Since they have not understood the world anymore. SUGAR, probably have one of the favorite things of all the Brazilians. For me, unfortunately not quite understand. Everywhere really comes in lots of sugar. Coffee with very much sugar in the juice directly to the fruit ... But it's not as if you use the sugar to sweeten it. No, everything tastes then only after sugar and lose his own taste. One thing in which I probably can not adapt so quickly and I will. My host family knows that I prefer to drink juice and coffee without sugar, so they are so nice that they always do things without sugar, and then everything after even sweet. Yesterday, my host mother has tried for the first time orange juice without sugar. Jaa and she liked it. When I leave here, they drink all without sugar: D: D "If yes ehh healthier," admitted my host mother then: P
Joa otherwise, do not know if I've already reported, but now I play flute and children learn with a bit in common. I can now at the center II always practice with the children. In the beginning I have not done their own initiative with 3 to 4 children. Meanwhile, the music teacher always sent with the smaller and I try to practice them with the pieces. What is often not easy, because everyone wants to play something else and the children still have more temperament than the children in Germany:) But somehow it works then, and a lot of fun. Then I started
have the children make bracelets friendship and for the reason, because I have totally raised many kids on my bracelet, which I bought from before my Abbreise Berna and Hannah had, which made a child in Bolivia in the project of my friend and other volunteers from Mainz "Tres Soles" a child. So I got the degree gehohlt times to Brazil, continuing a tradition Darmstadt: D
That's it for first ... The language always works better, there are not big progress, but I understand a lot more than most beginning and conversations also work anyway: P My English, I have unfortunately forgotten almost completely. Last week I wanted to talk to the violin teacher from center II, and was one of the first Brazilians, who I've met who speaks English to some extent. Jaa had unfortunately I can do just a mix of Portuguese and English. My brain is probably out of the High-performance phase. Abi is so done: PAlso do not worry ...
you soon
