Ok, day 2, here we go! This morning I drove from Atenas to
Playa Hermosa to Dave’s house. This is part of my Thursdays’ routine. There is
an organic farmers market here in Playa Hermosa every Thursday so I make the
trip to be able to hit up the market to have veggies for part of next week and
I combine it with a visit to Dave and a couple of surfing sessions, so surfing this
afternoon! Yohooo! It also looks like the waves are good.
Back to the commitment. The first day of this journey
already gave its fruits. I was able to seize the moment and overcome fear and
make a volunteering offer and create another purposeful commitment with my
community all in one move! I love the universe showing the way and one being
able to see it and going for it. Face your fears that’s where the path is,
otherwise you just stay in your shelter with no path. My neighbor, a pre-kinder
teacher in her home school started chatting with me across the fence and I made
the move of offering help with the kids. I have been thinking about working
with kids for a while, specifically using healthy eating and planting your own
food as the basis for their education. Making a parenthesis, a man and a
program that are already doing this pretty successfully and changing kids’
lives are Diego Ruete in Uruguay with his program Petit Gourmet. Check them out. Back
to the preschool next door. This school always seemed like a great opportunity
to put my foot through the door of education. The moment arose and I jumped in.
The teacher and I agreed that I will volunteer once a week helping the kids with
their English. Next step is to start preparing the class! Face the fear!
Do any of you have suggestions regarding progressive teaching
tools? I was thinking I would use the environment to work on colors and numbers
and make some interactive activities. Any ideas you have would be greatly
appreciated. I will try to incorporate some of Diego’s ideas.
