Playas, Fiestas y Hospitales
I’m currently sitting in a session put on by the Fire Chief of La Palma about “Control and Circumvention of Fires”. He started with the history of fires. In other words… yawn . Today the students had the day off so that the teachers could all attend this meeting. I’m grumpy and not wanting to be here, so instead I’ll update my blog (after all, there’s no wifi, and nobody around me can really read English to tell the difference between this and notes). These past two days have been the first practices of the Choir Genesis. I have been so undoubtedly nervous that I haven’t really realized how quickly they’ve gone. The first day I had about 18 students show up, and yesterday there were 28! The students are from 1 st grade all the way up to 9 th grade and since I’ve never directed a choir before, my fear of inadequacies are keeping me preoccupied. Furthermore, I’ve decided to register the students to sing in a competition on September 8 of El Salvador’s National Anthem
