This week we spent a lot of time between the primary school classrooms and the beach. The school I’m in is absolutely amazing! I love the children and the teacher that I was placed with. The kids here are so smart and well behaved. My teacher was super welcoming, offering me places to eat and advising me on things to do to make my experience more memorable. The schools are different from home as they are very open in structure. The buildings are designed so that a nice breeze flows through during the day.
I’ve found that the locals here are very welcoming and helpful as we make our way around the island. Many of them have answered our questions and shown us tip and tricks for the island. It’s very exciting to experience such a welcoming culture.
