Hello All! So my first week at RSO has already come to a close, WHERE IS THE TIME GOING?!?! Even though the work here is hard and not always immediately rewarding I am LOVING my time here and definitely don't want it to come to an end. Today was a definite test of this. As I mentioned before we were planning to have a day off and go shopping today but this morning Amy talked to Sara and she said that she really needed help around the school and at the hostel. So Amy came and asked us if we all wouldn't mind staying and we all agreed to stay and help. So we basically had another day full of hard work in the BLAZING HOT weather. We cleaned out the kids' hostel rooms, glued check-out materials into the library books, and just generally worked around the school and hostels. At the end of the night we were all listening to music from my iPod player and sorting clothes and somehow we all broke out into a dance party in the middle of the room where we were all sorting clothes. It was seriously awesome. It is great that even though we are stuck in this crazy heat and doing really hard work we can still have fun and enjoy our time here.
Today was also fun because it was Eliza's (one of the volunteers) birthday today so we got yummy french toast tonight for dinner with an AMAZING fruit salad. Fruit here is seriously so amazing--I could eat mangos for every meal. Now we are all sitting in the "Mango Room" at the volunteer hostel and everyone is blogging and enjoying each other's company. The atmosphere and everything about this place is so wonderful and the spirit here is great.
Well that's all for today!
Namaste.
