All I do is teach, teach, teach, teach and teach some more

Well, lately all i have been doing is teaching. We just got the approval last week to officially work in schools. We have been working at a boys school for drop outs. They are so smart and impress me everyday with what they know.  I love going there.  I work with the more advanced boys, there about to be smarter than me real soon. Haha. I still tutor every night. I look forward to seeing my boys everyday. I feel like there big sister, I tease them all the time! Its great. The music class that I have teaching is going so good. They know 3 songs that we have taught them and then we picked out 4 more for this week. I went to there viallge this past weekend and the boys were singing the songs as we hiked. Im so excited for them. They all have such great voices, im so jealous.

 This past sunday, I went to church with the back door neighbors. It was so funny, I was so lost and confused the entire time. It was all in Fijian but I definitly understood when he started talking about me and my friend because he would say kaipolangi which is the white people. He mentioned that plenty times. The power was off all day sunday so that was a bummer, but luckily it was raining all day so its wasnt too hot. life here in Fiji is so good. It is going by way to fast though. I have made some really good friends that im going to miss so much. I have to go though, I have a meeting at a school to set up a reading program. Ill blog about that next week. Hope everyone is doing well!

Only one month left :(

I know, I know, I need to blog way more.  I am just so busy and I haven’t been to the internet café in over two weeks so. I finally have an update.  First off, as of today I have officially one month left here. Its crazy.  I love it here and never want to leave.  The projects that I have been working on are going really well. Lately I haven’t been working on medical projects but everything else.  Haha. I love going to villages, it’s my favorite thing ever!  I have been going to this one village called vakabuli.  I teach a music class once a week there.  They are awesome! They all have such amazing voices. At the end of the class we are going to have a talent show with there village.  Some of the people in my group and I went to a village called koroipita and held our own health screening for diabetes and hypertension.  It went so well.  I helped with the education at the end and then taught dental hygiene and passed out toothbrushes.  It was crazy, I passed out like 60 toothbrushes and toothpaste in less than an hour.  Many of the people had never even heard of floss so it was a good opportunity to teach them how to use it.  I have been teaching English and math at the Ba Boys school.  It is a technical trade school for drop outs to attend.  One of the volunteers that was in charge of that project left and handed it over to me. Today was the first day without her and I must say that it went much better now that we have changed things.  I tutor boys that live at the Ba boys home (right next to the boys school) every night.  I tutor the same two boys every night. They are so awesome.  I love working with them, they make me laugh the entire time.  They both go to high school, sometimes there homework is too hard for me and they have to teach me. Haha. It’s kind of funny.  Yeah, all my projects are going so good.

I have made so many local friends.  I love it. They are the best people ever.  I may be a little too friendly sometimes. I have been asked to marry random men, to go live in there village with them and the list goes on. Haha. It makes me laugh every time.  I need to learn to say no to people.  My back door neighbors and me are best friends now.  This boy was out chopping weeds with a machete and we started talking. Since than we have been hanging out a lot. He is super cool and it helps that he is cute. Haha.  I have a lot of friends in villages that I love going to.  I go to church here every week and made friends with a couple families.  I always end up teaching young womens, Sunday school or primary.  But its okay because teaching here is so easy.  I went to Suva a few weeks ago.  It was beautiful and busy.  The shops there are open after 6 o’clock, it was awesome! Everywhere but Suva, the entire town/city shuts down.  Fiji is so great! I love the people and the work that Im doing here. Thank you everyone who made this trip possible for me. It has been life changing for sure!
