This month the weather surprises us each day. We wake up without knowing whether it will be a snowstorm or a sunny day. It doesn’t prevent us from completing a long list of activities!
At school, each of us are teaching based on our different abilities and interests. Nathan is teaching science, music and French, Guillaume is teaching sport and French and Frida is making art and teaching Spanish. We are supported and helped by the other teachers and the children who make the lessons more enjoyable!
We had the opportunity to learn about gardening thanks to Nick, our teacher in this case. We started to plant our first vegetables in the garden: spinach; onions; garlic and carrots! But as we said before, the weather is very strange, and our seeds are presently covered by snow… we hope that they survive.
We took care of four compost sites in Shipka removing branches and other materials that didn’t belong there. We also cleaned the museum space, and it’s incredible how much we can do in one day!
Music follows us everywhere we go, even in the school, the term ‘’Jam Session’’ is understood by the children! We had the chance to go to a Balkan/Latino concert in Sofia.
We went to a wine celebration on the 12th of February, where different families brought their homemade wine and the traditional ‘’Pravo Horo’’ dance place, took accompanied by food, rakia, music and very friendly people.
Nathan’s girlfriend Clara visited and made us cakes. She really was very sweet company. We met volunteers on other projects during ESC training days and threw a very international birthday party for Guillaume with volunteers from other countries.
