Today, we started our projects. All the volunteers went to different schools today. 
T and I went to a school  for special needs children. We basically just helped 
babysit. The kids all were pretty severely handicapped, so the workers needed a lot of 
help. It was really fun. The kids were all really sweet and silly and I made some new 
friends. T speaks less Spanish than I do so I had to do the communication, so that 
was stressful  and really hard but I think I did ok. We are going back tomorrow. The 
school was only a half day so we came home around 1. It is the same here with normal 
schools too. It's way too hot to do anything in the afternoon! 
Later we got ice cream and then just hung around the house, dying from the heat. All week 
we will just be doing evaluations of the possible projects and the needs that we can fill 
while we are here. I will let you know what else we end up doing! I love you all!
