I am enjoying my experience here in Argentina. I really enjoy playing with the children everyday and teaching them a bit of English too! Carlos is the project leader here and he is absolutely fabulous helping me with everything that i need. I am so thankful he is really nice and made me feel very welcome. Mainly my experience is going to a school or aftercare program where I play with little children and help them with arts and crafts or snacks or play soccer. I think for future volunteers it would be helpful to let them know that resources are very slim in certain countries and if they have any extra equipment i.e. soccer balls, crayons, pencils, paper etc. to bring with them. Also I recommend here in Cordoba, Argentina to request to stay with a college student so that you can experience the true life of Argentina i.e. cooking, restaurants, and have someone to talk to and hang out.
Overall my experience so far has been absolutely wonderful and the people of Cordoba, Argentina are very kind, welcoming, and generous.
thanks
To answer your questions iam very much so enjoying Argentina and the volunteering is going well. This trip so far has been really helping my spanish and broadining it. The staff here and the other volunteers have been very nice and inviting, as well as supportive and i think they are glad to have me on board. Today i will try to get some photos of where i work and the kids i work with, and hopefully next week i can try to give them a little basic english lesson, so well see how that goes. So, so far its been a great experince and im glad i joined the program.
thanks
