Our time at San Nicolas by Avalon & Manon










We’ve been on San Nicolas Urraca for 4 weeks and it was a great experience!
We started at the 21th of July and our final day will be tomorrow.
The last few weeks were great. Everyday when we came in, the kids gave us a kiss and a big hug, so cute! Luisa is great as well. She is always very friendly to her volunteers.
We played a lot with the kids and helped them with their homework.
We’ve collected some money in Holland and we spend it on the project. We bought a washing machine, a copy machine and together with Kathy we bought a see-saw. We hope that they will have a lot of profit of it.
As Kathy already told, we have done a lot of activities with the children, during their holiday. It is so nice to see how happy the children are with something that is actually quite normal for us.
This week we had a normal day at Monday. We just played and helped the kids with their homework. On Tuesday we went to the park, we wanted to go last week.
It was really fun! The kids enjoyed it very much and so did we!
Again there died a woman in the community, so it wasn’t possible to get in the hall today. So we went to another small park. We played football. We, against the boys and we did quite well actually! We played with a Frisbee as well. It was a really cool day again.
So tomorrow will be our last day and we are going to miss this project so much! All the lovely kids and off course Luisa.

New volunteers: good luck, but you will definitely enjoy your time at San Nicolas Urraca!!
