Countdown for the show

The good thing about this week is that we were having all teachers in the schools. At least one of the teachers is very good - the other is better than the teacher that we had before but we are not sure she can manage the whole class in case she has nobody to help her... at least she has great respect in the eyes of the kids...this definitely helps to keep order in the class. Volunteers are generally abused by the kids - the kids do with them whatever they want. I am the best example of it - unfortunately.

Rita on the other hand is now fully immersed in creating jewellery - our kids are supposed to start putting together necklaces and bracelets which we are to sell at our culinary event. So far though it seems that Rita takes most fun of it - and secretly told me that if we cannot sell them at the event she will appropriate them for herself :))

There has been lots of work that had to be done for the Club Cusco culinary event - and our next week does not seen any lighter in this respect. Hopefully, everything will go right next Saturday... As to the event - on Saturday we should have received the invitations and A2 posters for the event from the print house. It has been quite a battle with the print house to get what we want and when we want - honestly we are helpless what concerns not keeping promises. Anyway it is our own design and we will try to post both here on the blog though they will probably look not as nice as in reality. We will have them printed on nice glossy paper (poster) and excellent paper especially for the invitations (no idea what it is called in English).

Next week in general will be full of extracurricular events. As mentioned on Monday Chaplin the bunny is going to have a date - our new teacher brings Mrs. Chaplin so that . On Tuesday we will have a Peruvian Children's day so we decided that we are going to take the kids to the swimming pool - I suspect that it is going to be adventures for two reasons at least: first previous directors told us that last time there were quite big problems before they let the big group in as the kids were not exactly clean looking so big washing took place. Secondly controlling those lets say 30 kids at a swimming pool might prove quite challenging. On Wednesday we have a pub quiz and a visit of Bruce Peru founder and his wife. It came as a surprise for us...can say that we provoked it as we have written quite a long email addressing the problems we face here and we think the whole organization faces - we got a very positive response to it and request to meet and discuss how can our proposals be implemented... The great thing is that they will be able to personally participate in the Saturday Culinary show.


On Thursday then we will probably visit all the schools with our visitors...On Saturday as mentioned before we will have our culinary event in Club Cusco. In the meantime of course we have to sell 70 tickets to the event, go over our problems and accomplishments with the founder of the organization and make sure our Peruvian Chef does not forget anything for the event.

At the event we are planning to make an exhibition with photos of the kids - that is why we have asked people who have formally had experience with us to join our flickr group and add their pictures. We will choose the best and make an exhibition - of course giving credit to the authors of the pictures. We are looking forward to all pictures and more comments from all of you.
