Nurse Sandra

So for the last two days I have been very sick.. It has not been fun. I woke up Wednesday morning at like 5 am and started throwing up every half hr! It was horrible and after my tenth time of running into the bathroom I passed out! Not making it to the toilet.. people found me lying on the bathroom floor, half of my body in the shower (don’t know how I got in the shower?) and throw up all over me :( and other things…(I knew right when I woke up) it was pretty embarrassing but funny at the same time. This little Ecuadorian lady who doesn’t know much English was standing above me when I woke up and I’m just lying there on the floor and she was like “ es poo poo” and I couldn’t help but laugh it was soo sad and pathetic it was funny.. any ways I am doing really good now I slept for two days and I think I lost ten pounds which is good because I probably gained 15 sense I have been here.. I have been really bad at updating my blog so I am going to try to cram a lot of info into one. There is this lady at SVP Nurse Sandra who scares the heck out of me! She is just scary looking and she is always yelling, even when she talks she yells! And all the kids love her I’ts soo weird.. anyways we were outside playing when this lady came running at me with a tree branch yelling at me and I had no idea what for! She was yelling toss toss chica! No asi! Blah blah blah she went off! And Im thinking what in the world did I do!? Come to find out that she has this little game she plays with the kids to get there attention.?? Weird game if you ask me.. but she stomps here feet and points her finger at me and yells and the kids copy her. ( fun game huh) lets see what else has happened?? Oh I have another humiliating but funny story you will have to ask me in person tho and I might tell you..( u never know who reads these blogs??) just remind me its about my first week changing diapers. We have our field trip to the Equator tomorrow I am way excited but I better get some sleep Love you all! Chow!

we take these handicap kids out for the afternoon so that their caregiver can have a little break. So we take them on a walk to buy pan(bread) and feed them cheetos and juice, and take them to the park! They love it! They are really sweet kids, it was kind of hard for me at first because I have never worked with handicap kids and I was not that comfortable with it but they really are fun and very smart kids.

the little boy who stole my sucker!

Its anna, sorry i havent written you at all.. our internet and phones have been down.. my family has been freaking out lol. but i am alive and well :) i havent even been sick at all! The food here is great by the way.. I dont know why everone was telling me that i was going to loose soo much weight.. haha I feel like Im going to gain like ten pounds while im here... but its seriously has been soo great. the first couple of days were kind of tough to get use to but the kids are awsome! I love them to death! the kids im working with are from new born to 2yrs old I worked my first night shift yesterday! it was sooo long! 14 hrs and you are seriously up all night changing diapers and feeding babies..and then today I went to work at a different orphanage where the kids live in families where they have a¨"mom" who gets paid to live there with them and then they probably have like ten kids in a casa. it was really sad they were really dirty and the little ones would just pee there pants and they wouldnt change them :( .it was funny we were reading them books today.. i read them all the book you gave me ! they loved it .they would like fight over it everytime we finished reading it. but anyways I brought suckers with me in my sweatshirt and these little kids would pretend like I hadnt given them a sucker and would beg for them .there were 50 kids and i only brought enough for one each but this little sneaky kid he was like 3 was like leaning on me and asked me to read to him and he very sneakily ( i made that word up) took a sucker out of my pocket! lol I couldnt believe it he tricked me into reading to him! ha but it was way fun the kids would read a page to me and then i would read a pg to them.. they were like correcting me on my pronunciation lol.
