Starting Voluntary Work

We´ve finally managed to sort out our voluntary work in Huaraz, which we start on Wednesday at a new charity called Seeds of Hope. We´re going to be hanging out in a classroom and generally annoying some teachers. Actually we´re going to be helping out the kids with their homework and general life skills, so we´ll keep you up to date on all that. It was actually really sweet when we went to look round the school, one of the little boys came running up to me to give me a big hug and I even managed to give him a hug back, even with his snotty nose! They´ll be about 15 kids in total, so we should have great fun and lots of stories to tell over the next month with them. We´ll be living with two of the teachers, who seem quite cool and are kindly going to give us Spanish classes in the evenings as well. We´re both looking forward to that.
