Nepal Day 7

Me and Josh have now been in Nepal for 1 week. Today is Sunday here in Nepal. We started our teaching assignment today. The children that live in the orphanage that we are staying at attend a private school so they are gone all day there. Because of this we have an assignment to teach at a public school where the teachers are not as good because they are not paid well enough. Today we just observed some 7, 8, 9, and 10 class English lessons. Tomorrow I will be teaching class 7 and Josh will be teaching class 10. It is very fun to be able to work with this age group at the school after working with the Jr. High students from Hillcrest Jr High at the library every afternoon. It is fun to see how similar they act here to the students in Utah. The children that we are working with, in the orphanage range from 5 to 10 they are so cute. Everyday they come home from school at around 3:30 they change into their after school clothes and wash up outside. One of the girls Sarmilla always takes the longest to do anything she dawdles and is in her own world the entire time. Pangum loves to clean up after school she takes forever and will slick back her hair several times and make sure that it looks perfect and and puts clips in it. Nitisha who is 5 and the youngest loves to laugh she is so super giggley and is always so happy to be around. She is constantly singing and dancing around and talks about a mile a minute. Sujan was sick the first couple of days that we have been here so he was home with us. The first day I asked him if he wanted me to read him a book. When I started reading it to him he interrupted me and read the whole book to me. He is so sweet and always hollars SEESTER!!! To me to come and help him with is school work or to read books to the other children or finds stickers to share with the others. Rajesh is the oldest and always looks out for the other children. He is a great older brother to them. He loves to play basketball and we will dribble the ball and steal it from each other in the drive way. I think that he could play all afternoon. It is hard to do that here with 5 other children demanding attention all the time. He is pretty good at sharing the time though. We did get a chance to sit and play Uno together last night and talk just the 2 of us I think that he really enjoys time like that. Sangum is the shyest child here I have not spent a lot of time getting to know her yet but she is super sweet and looks out for her sisters she is the oldest of the girls. The more time that I spend with the children the less I feel sick for home. They are really making this experience fantastic.
