Holla!

Today we were back at the all girls private school. We were picked up at TEC and taken to the school along with some of the students. When we arrived, Gabbie was not there yet so we went to have breakfast. Some of the girls from yesterday were in the cafe too. They were not in uniforms so we asked by they were wearing street clothes. They explained they had a field trip and invited us to come. We asked Gabbie and she said we could go!

The field trip was to a Museum about the holocaust and genocides. One of the girls Fran translated for us which was great! At the end of the tour the guide discussed “tolerance.” We discussed this word and what the true definition is. It is not to tolerate someone but to listen and accept a persons way of thinking. It was very comforting to see the girls in Mexico learning about a concept i hold so dear to my heart. There was a beautiful piece of art in the centre of the museum representing everyone who died during these events.

On the way home Fran played tour guide to all of the monuments around the city. It was great! The girls are full of life and love asking us questions. When we returned to the school we had lunch with the girls and participated in an english class. They were reading a novel and took turns reading two pages. Tim another TC read two pages as well and the girls loved it.

At the end of the day we headed back to TEC and met with Maria to tell her all about our day!

chat manana (tomorrow)!
