Volunteering part 2

PERU | Wednesday, 10 March 2010 | Views [366] | Comments [1]

Today was our first official day of volunteering at the local library, and like I mentioned before, we just never know what we'll end up doing.  Tonight was so cool.  I got the opportunity to hang out with a group of adults who are blind, and one of the girls is learning English.  So after we practiced some more braille (I'm learning a lot!) I got to read the girl a book in English.  But the parts she didn't understand I had to explain in Spanish, but I couldn't use any hand gestures because she is blind... it was AWESOME.  It kept me thinking :)  I love a good challenge.  We are going to meet again a few times a week to practice MORE! 

Being open to whatever really has its advantages :)  The element of surprise is very rewarding!
