I have now volunteered teaching English to the parents at Vieau school three more times since my last post. I now know the names of most of the people that are there regularly, and a little bit about some of them. All of the people that I have worked with so far have been very nice and open with me. Everyone has a good sense of humor and I have fun every time I am there. The time goes so fast that it never seems like I am there for three hours. I feel that the time that I spend with them teaching them English is very productive. It can be difficult at times due to the language barrier, and the fact that there is only one of me and several of them. This makes it difficult for me to try to answer all of their questions and still move forward in our learning. However, two more people just started volunteering last week. This was a very big help to me, and I feel that we made excellent progress last Monday. It was very helpful to have enough people to spread though out the group so that each of us could answer the questions of three or four people. This has been a great experience so far and I think I will continue to volunteer after my required hours are complete. What I plan to present for the first multimedia exercise is a presentation of the activities and materials that I use when I am teaching them English. Right now I am still waiting for permission to photograph the people at the school. Hopefully I will get this next week so that I will have some shots for my project.
