Every Thursday morning I take a motorcycle taxi to the school I teach at for 3 dollars. It is well worth the ride because the bus system is a roller coaster ride..you go in with clean clothes and come out with a few bruises and smelling like you´ve worked on the farm all day in the beating hot sun. I still take the bus for the experience..but I make sure I have no where to go afterward.
I have really become accustomed to Brasil. I love the kids and they show me love every time they see me. I truly adore them. Working here has definitely made me question if I should have my own children.
Today I taught dance with 4 girls today. Marianna was one of my students and is always 100% enthusiastic and excited to learn more about dance. I decided that I would support her to become a dance teacher and pay for her certificate to become an instructor. Marianna comes from a very poor family with lots of negativity. Since she was a child she has been physically abused and obviously feels unloved. When I see her dance, I can see the light in her eyes..and she completely escapes into her perfect world. Marianna wants to run her own studio one day, so lets get her started.
Anyone who would like to help out just send me an email and I will make sure to get back to you.
Thank you for reading.
