1. How many adults take care of how many children?
2. What do you eat?
3. What do the children eat?
4. Do you help with food prep or laundry?
5. Can any of the people (adults or orphans) speak English?
1. i dont really know... i think i saw maybe one other adult besides the h2h staff so they must be hiding there somewhere! there were maybe 30 kids? i dont know.... really bad at estimation!
2. normal food- we eat at the house. lots of yummy big meals... breakfast- cereal, pastries, fruit, bread, yogurt, etc. lunch and dinner- soup, soup, soup! yum! and normal side things like chips and corn bread and dessert.
3. i dont know what the kids eat... something to ask!
4. i dont help with food prep because there are so many staff women that just do it either while we are gone or are resting, and we havent done any laundry yet.
5. a lot of the transition home orphans and adults speak anywhere from a few words of english to being fluent. i think ive met one or two kids who can say some words in english. a few of them are actually pretty fluent in spanish because they watch spanish soap operas in the orphanages!
Good Questions..... Good Answers!
ReplyDeleteThis is Alicia...how many H2H staff are there? Sounds like you are really getting to build into many of their lives. Do you speak a lot of Spanish with the kids who know it?
ReplyDeleteThere are roughly 10ish staff here. And I haven't really spoken much spanish because I don't really remember it! Darn!
