Neljapäeval oli tore vihmapäev meil siis, kui me vaba päeva saime. Natuke aega peale 7t vist jäi sadu järgi ja terve ülejäänud päev oli päike väljas. Lõunal viis Amalia meid ühe tüdruku koju kellel on silmadega probleem ja keda me aidata tahame sest ta on väga intelligente. Asi on selles et ta ei näe lähedale ega kaugele, kui ta midagi näha tahab peab ta silma vastu raamatut panema põhimõtteliselt. Niiet ta vajab operatsiooni. Nende kodu koosnes üliväikesest savihütist ja kõrval oli mingisugune pooleli olev väike majalaadne asi kus seinugi polnud. Veider on et isegi kui nii vaesed ollakse, on emal ikkagi telefon. Aga igatahes väga hullud on ka teed mis sinna viivad, ehk siis mudamülgas tuleb läbida.
Neljapäeval käisime ka piljardit mängimas siin jälle, ma ei tea kas ma juba ütlesin aga see maksab 3 lempiirat ehk siis 15 US senti ainult ehk siis kõige odavam koht mis sa üldse kuskilt leida võid.
Reedel saime ühe Kanada naisega kokku kes ka Honduras Children organisatsiooniga seotud on. Peale vaheaja programmi lastele ,ehk siis veebruari alguses need kes siia jäävad ta ütles et hakkavad inglise keele programmis olema ehk siis mitte Kinderis enam, vaid õpetaks inglise keelt noortele. See võib ka päris huvitav olla. Mul on veel poolteist nädalas Kinderis jäänud muide. Siis on üks nädal meil vaheajaprogrammi (VAP) organiseerimiseks ning siis VAP kuni jaanuari lõpuni.
Reedel käisime peale Kinderit veel mõnede laste kodusid vaatamas, et näidata kus nad elavad. Ma koguaeg arvasin et kõik elavad päris lähedal, aga väga kaugel, eriti kui mingi mudane tee tuleb läbida. Pole ime siis et enamus Kinderi lastest koguaeg köhib seal. Ühe lapse ema ei teadnud kus ta laps isegi on kui me sinna läksime.
Ahjaa, Jennifer tuli ühe 12 aastase poisiga ka siia majja korraks, ja tuli välja et ta on lihtsalt geenius !!! Kõige targem 12 aastane keda ma näinud pole, ma muidugi ta matemaatika jms teadmisi ei tea aga kui keegi geograafiat oskab nii nagu tema, on raske ette kujutada et ta halb oleks teistes ainetes. Sest ta õppis kõik selle geograafia ise kodus, ning kui keegi midagi sellist teab mul tekib alati austus nende vastu :D Sest ta teadis KÕIKI maailma riike, ta teadis kus on Eesti, mis on pealinn, ja lipuvärvid ka!!! Pluss teadis veel nt Venemaa religiooni ning isegi Balkani poolsaare riikide pealinnu. Muide üks veider fakt et selles atlase sarnases raamatus oli eesti lipuvärvid lilla,must,valge ja seda ta mulle ütleski. Ma muidugi parandasin teda ja ütlesin et see on sinine! Ma küsisin talt et kas ta tahad et ma talle ing keelt õpetaks, sest nii intelligentsetele inimesele oleks lihtsalt rõõm õpetada midagi, aga ta ütles et tahab eesti keelt õppida, ning siis saksa ja prantsuse ka. :D Mul et OK, kui sa tahad :D Peale seda pidime oma pärastlõunasesse tundi minema, nii kurb oli minna nii targa inimese juurest nende juurde kes mitte millestki aru ei saa :( :D

Laupäeval läksid enamus La Ceibasse niiet need kes siia jäid läksime randa päevitama, siis jooksma ning peale seda üritasin ma baleada põhja valmistada retsepti järgi, üks tuli päris ilus :D Muide ma olen niii väga papayat ka hakanud armastama siin. Veider on see et ainult 3 tervest vabatahtlike seltskonnast sööb seda ja kõik teised räägivad kui vastik see on. Ja see on nii odav ka, alla dollari. Teises vabatahtlike majas on isegi papayapuu kus hakkavad need valmis saama.
Õhtul valmistusime oma Halloweeni peoks siin Beach House'is. Ma plaanisin minna 70ndate hipina aga enamus inimesi kutsus mind Pocahontaseks :D Kõigil olid niii lahedad kostüümid seljas, nagu Salva Vida õlupudel, Aladdin, Twisteri mäng jne. Mingi aeg käisime korra ühel Halloweeni peol ka rannas, kuigi keegi polnud üles riitatud seal.
Muide, siin kui reklaame vaatad telekast, põhimõtteliselt kõik inimesed on valged Lõuna- Ameeriklased, ehk siis mitte nii valged kui meie, aga valgemad kui nende tavaline nahatoon. Sest valge nahk tähendab tavaliselt et oled rikkam ja kõrgemast klassist niiet ma arvan et nad on otsinud meelega valgemaid Honduralasi sinna, isegi pesupulbri jms reklaamides.
Ma lähen vist Guatemalasse novembri lõpu poole sest hetkel pole võimalik. Siis läheks Copan'ist läbi kus on maajade varemed ning saaks need ka ära näha et eraldi reisi järgmine kord ette ei peaks võtma. Guatemalas oleks Antigua's mis pidi üks väga ilus linn olema.
Nüüd peale neid vihmapäevi mis meil siin olid, on mitu päeva väga kuiv olnud, ilmselt see nii ei jää kauaks.
Ma pole kindel kas ma ka seda olen mainud, aga isegi kui inimesed on väga vaesed siin, nad panevad alati oma parimad riided selga ja neil on ka telefonid jms, nad hoolitsevad palju rohkem oma välise image'i eest ja teised asjad ei oma nii väga tähtsust. Ning kui sa pärast näed kus nad elevad on veider näha et nad tegelikult on nii vaesed.
Nii tüütu on et nad alati põlevad prügi ja palmilehti jms siin, ehk siis alati tuleb suits majja just nagu preagu -_-
Üks põhjus miks paljudel lastel siin nii mustad ja ussitanud hambad on sellepärast, et nende joogid on lihtsalt ülimagusad ja üle suhkrustatud. Tavaline mahl poest ostes maitseb liiga magusalt, tunned suhkru maitset, mis mulle üldse ei meeldi.
Erakondade valimised on ka hoogsalt käimas siin. Varsti peakski olema need. Punased v sinised. Ehk siis punased on vasakpoolsed muidugi, ma arvan et päris tugevate kommunistlike vaadetega. Siis tulevad veel USA presidendivalimised millest kõik siin nii väga huvitatud on.
On Thursday we had a great 'rainday' then, when we got a day off, cos after 7am it stopped and the rest of the day was sunny. That's how it's been so far as well, no rain but it will probably start soon again. In the afternoon Amalia took us to the girl who has problems with her eyes. She cannot see far nor close, and when she wants to see whats written down she literally has to put her eye against the paper. But she needs an operations and we are kind of working on it, like have to take her to doctors at some point etc, because the thing is, she is reallly intelligent. Their home consisted of a really tiny clay house plus something house-like next to it which didn't have walls or anything. The strange thing is that even though they were so poor, the mother still had a telephone, I guess that's a necessity here. But the roads that took us there were horrible, so muddy after rain , and they have to cross it every day.
Went to play pool on Thursday evening again. I don't know if I told already but it costs 3 lempiras !! which is like 15 US cents. One of the cheapest places you can ever find!
On Friday we met a woman who is associated with Honduras Children organisation as well. She said that those who stay here after Vacation Activities Program (VAP), they are going to work in PEP (English Program) where they teach English to youngsters. Right now I'm at KInder as you know, but most of us work in PEP here. That might be quite interesting. Plus, I have one and half week left in Kinder btw. Then we are organising for VAP the whole week and then it starts, until the end of January.
On Friday we went to see some kids' houses, like where they live and in which conditions. I always thought that they live close but they actually live very far! Especially when they have to walk though mud when it's rainy. No wonder most of them cough in Kinder. One mother didn't even know where her son was when we went there.
In the afternoon, Jen brought one 12 year old boy here and it turned out he's super intelligent. I've never been so impressed before, as he know all the countries, where they are, their capitals, flags, religions, languages they speak. I mean here its a big deal when they even know what England is or something like that, but he knew Estonia, the capital and even the flag colours. (Note that in his map book, Estonian flag colours were purple, black, white for some reason, which he said as well when I asked the colours, but then I corrected and said its BLUE not purple). He definitely knows more about European flag colours than I do :D He said he studied that at home on his own. When somebody that young does something like that on their own, just out of interest , it really makes me respect them. He wasn't nerdy or anything btw :D I asked him whether he wants me to teach him English cos I'd really love teaching somebody like him, but he said he wants me to teach him Estonian, plus he wants to learn German and French as well :D After that we had to go to our afternoon class to teach maths, it was quite sad to leave and teach kids who do not understand anything no matter how we explain :( :D
On Saturday most of the volunteers went to La Ceiba and those who stayed went to the beach to sunbathe, later running and then I tried to make baleada base, one turned out OK :D I think I need a Honduras person to teach me so I can make them when I get back ^^ Btw I really started loving papaya here, soo good. And really cheap as well, less than a dollar for a big one. The strange thing is that only 3 out of all the volunteers (10) like it, others really don't. In the other volunteer house there's a papaya tree as well and they should be ready soon :)
In the evening we started prepping for our Halloween party which we threw in the Beach House. I was going as a 70's hippie but everybody kept calling me Pocahontas :D All the volunteers had such cool costumes on :D Like Aladdin, Salva Vida beer bottle, Twister game etc. At some point we went to a beach Halloween party as well but nobody was dressed up there.
Btw, when you watch commercials here on the TV basically all the people are white South Americans there, I mean not as white as we but whiter than usual, some are probably fake white as well, because it shows that you are from higher class.
I am probably going to Guatemala at the end of November. Then we would go thorough Copan to see Mayan ruins and in Guatemala we'd probably go to Antigua which is supposed to be a really old and beautiful city.
Not sure if I have mentioned, but poor people here don't seem poor on the outside cos they always put their best appearance on. Their houses can be made of clay and they can live in the worst conditions ever, but you'd never think that they are so poor when you see them in school or somewhere.
One of the main reasons why so many children have black and really broken teeth is cos they drink such sugary juices. The sugar consistency is crazy what they have in drinks here, I really don't like it.
Party elections are going on at the moment, so soon it should be certain who wins, either the reds or blues. Reds are left wing of course I think with quite strong communist views.
Nüüd peale neid vihmapäevi mis meil siin olid, on mitu päeva väga kuiv olnud, ilmselt see nii ei jää kauaks.
