sua s'dei
we are thrilled, that its our work in the orphanage so underestimated! and it is really the hammer that you are interested even to donate new flavors! definitely permitting, there are still needed support. money is as safe always good, but certain materials are important. we will certainly list a couple of things that can be collected and we can then send a packet. au yes!
But new flavors to our life here in KKEV-center.
we stand on each clock tomorrow around 6:30. then enjoy a cold fix in the shower, because we are almost always drenched in sweat because it is so damn hot. a fan, we have not, as a room and the air conditioning runs only a few hours in the evening when electricity is available. 7am leutet then the bell and all the staff and children gather in the courtyard under the roof for breakfast. there is always rice with vegetables. which varies meat - either pork, beef or fish mostly. .. For breakfast quite a very hearty meal .. well, we have become accustomed, more or less. I come to fish, Chrissie, ran in the morning really ni!
yes, then it is also already at work! martin is disappearing in the computer room and almost every 8 computer has taken to running! previously it was a pure hard drive, monitor and mouse - wust ... all evil excited about Martin's work and are wondering about him when he screwed around on the PC. "You're a computer scientist?" He is asked again and again. .. "No, biologist ick am!" in any case are all so grateful for Martin's work and keep saying how glad they are that he is here. it's awesome, because for over a year these are computer around here and no one can do with it what. The goal is for the children a set computerkabinet.
if martin sometimes just not screwing around on the computers, he teaches one of the German security men. red is now quite a few say, including "goats" and "good morning beautiful woman." or else he takes a globe and explains the security-men as the earth rotates around the sun. Incidentally, he shows how to seed the gardener is in the earth and compost pile one port.
but always says martin over current that is switched on only a few hours in the morning, afternoon and evening from a generator. namely, the center is quite far outside the city, so that the distance power lines to the state is too large.
I'm usually in the morning while the children in the kindergarten children and school children after initially separated. the school children have dancing hour after breakfast. they learn the traditional Cambodian dance with finger-bend and bend and so .. is hard to describe .. play the kindergarten children, meanwhile, and I'm usually at the start. Basically, I've always at least three children hanging on me. all want to be down simultaneously stroked. It is always a battle between them DIR to me and other volunteers. .. You have to just always keep in mind that there are orphans. Most are traumatized, were abused by their parents or neglected. they need so much love and attention, much much more than mentally healthy children. So they are fighting for our proximity.
come to the dance lesson the school children to the kindergarten children and there is common-place English lessons. the first time have I just looked on and was shocked! teaching could not call it, for all children scurried around, throwing tables (!) through the area schriehen, kloppten, and laughing .. and then the poor teacher and the kindergarten teacher - both rebellious child completely powerless against it. I could also align so nothing really effective, because I can not speak Khmer. but the child can understand only their mother tongue. relating to English you can really nothing there except "hello", "how are you?" and "whats your name?" Be expected. Uiuiui I thought, that may indeed be something! ..
now I teach quite regularly even the english language schools, along with Laura, another volunteerin from Munich. the teacher and the kindergarten teacher are very grateful about it, because they learn from us about new teaching methods and also noted that it is good for the children arrive and learn more. The two are our interpreters, if we give the children tasks. anyway - it is very stressful to give this lesson, because the children are not used to keep control of them and we are not able to really teach that because of the language barrier. So we are always dependent on the teacher and the kindergarten teacher, the children have but little authority on the .. yeah, because we need much patience and nerves especially strarke. but it's still fun and come when, after teaching the kids to us and tell us that the hour toll found, then makes the mut!
to 12pm leutet the bell for lunch. There is rice with vegetables. to pork, beef or fish .. thus similar to the breakfast. But once there's pasta! oh, how we were happy! .. Yes, because the rice is so slow us again out of the ears .. but the food still tastes super delicious, the cook should confirm what we always .. and then they praise us when we have eaten up all fine and not like most white people the plate can still be half full, as she says. pig house martin regulates namely always that the next day the sun is shining:)
after lunch there's ne lunch break. the school children are driven to school (school will find namely in the afternoon instead), go to sleep kindergarten children and staff and can help relax. The current is now switched off for 2 hours.
goes from 14am on the working comfortable. Martin takes so again the computer (which is not as easy as everyone has the old computer teething problems, not enough cables, mice, and so are available and the software is not to get so easy) and I to the child or the preparation for lessons or other activities, such as errands on the market, up from book shelves .. or can I sit with Laura and we superior to what you have ideas for further reactions here in the center.
against 16h it gets very comfortable, because then everyone leaves who do not live here in the center the area and go home. It is time for good conversation, rumflachsen with the guitar playing children, and sing, chill .. yes, even beautiful. and then keep this great sunset just before the dinner, where giant clouds at sunset, and we piled in front of either paddy admire this natural spectacle, or climb the 15m high water tower and watch from up there this light show.
18h rings the bell on the third times a day. diemal is dinner-time. there .. well, who can think of it? .. Yes, there is spaghetti with cheese sauce and the finest chocolate for dessert! Hmmm .. that are unfortunately only dream about. the reality served with rice, veggie, beef, pork or fish on it. It is a cozy and relaxed round in which we all eat together.
after dinner is sometimes the tv set in the garden and all gather in front of for hours for 1 to 2. the current is switched on then namely, till 21h! this is the time where we may have the opportunity to internet when the connection is working! we sit in the office, where there are Internet-connected computer.
to 21h, we must also have the best shower, because then there's not a light more .. but the water is not always available .. if the pump has no namely lust, then there's just no shower and the klospuehlung does not work also .. just diarrhea is a wicked thing ...... But we can wash us to the lucky anyway. then we just go to the cook over and there's ne bowl with us, we can out of a tub of water rinse down. It is so blatant about what to look forward to! every night we go from evil when the water runs out of the shower! flowing water is better than the hammer! oh yes!
JUPS, 21h and if everything is dark and quiet, is still gequasselt bissl by candlelight and then it's off to bed. and even now we can already at this time and are asleep early at 6am fit as a fiddle!
.. apropos sneakers. since the laura is here (they came a week later than us) I'm (Chrissi) each morning jog with her. Laura also makes home namely athletics has resolved to go to during their journey to run forever. there I have it! Posted connected! 'm really happy about it, because I realize how much I am now rusty already .. it does to run so well! clock at 6:30 ready to go to rice fields over and into the village. Our goal is the market where we buy our breakfast at the morgentlichen rice with vegetables and meat to escape .. because we buy bananas and such a great pastry with sesame.
the market is crazy real! - Sell sooo many people in the smallest room in the mushy sitting fruits, noodles, rice, clothes, earrings, skin cola, from the bowl jumping fish, frogs without a razor, ohrstaebchen, mosquito nets, hairdressers ... everything! now and then we take eating Serey, one of the security men from the center, the noodles here with his adored to which he has been waiting a year. and people all look like cars, if we know two girls there, long run. but they are friendly and smile to us. our obstverkaeuferin us there is always some litschees even more in the bag and sometimes even an apple:) they are all very poor people, in huts made of corrugated iron, wood, bamboo or other living material. often the water is in the stands, when it rained. and the routes are then flooded. This morning we were able to jog some long routes and therefore does not schlammpfuetzen had to go through the huge durchstacksen. We saw perhaps out for it! ..
it is run every day a new adventure to through this landscape.
a week since Michael is there. He is the founder and head of the orphanage and a relative of dieter, the doctor who is also just for a few weeks here. that's really a type! Architect, early 60s, tall, thick, ne always whistle in mouth, veeeery authoritative .. He mixes this up neatly, much more than dieter. is also clear, for he is the chef.
he tried hard to settle here and manners that will be introduced, for example appear to be punctual to eat, to be quiet when someone is talking, just sit and quietly at the table. these are all very basic things, but for the Cambodian not so easy to follow. to have a completely different culture.
Michael has only really ne skewed, its implementing ideas .. he screams then just time around, according to accidental entry and rebukes all. .. Actually all fear him here (that is, all Cambodian) and behave towards him always submissive. he is the chef and he has already laid off people immediately if something did not work out as he wanted.
was the absolute hit yes the first day when he arrived here. he had gathered all the employees of the centers and seized pictures of zertsoerten Dresden in 1945. there were pyre, to see people and injured zertsoerte Buildings .. he said to the Cambodians, "you see, we have suffered and starved and as you have done it, get out there again. one only needs to tackle tough and disciplined to be, then do you manage everything! you may find it also create the paradise to live. ".. yes, that is already ne blatant thing, trying as michael as has the little people what to make clear. I mean, the idea is true to some extent and I can be motivating the to show images therefore understand bissl, but still - he can not get it .. all were completely ready for the meeting .. and we are ashamed of us that because Michael is representative for all German to this art and has acted as.
I mean, who has been busy even to some extent with the history of Cambodia and know that before 30jahren massacred here by the Khmer Rouge a third of the entire Cambodian population in the most brutal way, have the know that you need these people not talking about suffering. basically, all adult Cambodian (30jahren from) traumatized.
good, but you have to say though, that the Cambodian like Michael very much and may even touching activities with the children. He has only just an oblique art to bring his thoughts to the man. it is sooo great and overwhelming, what with michale dieter has created and built up! they make it possible to have one 19 children at home, where they are loved and allowed it will like. also there are the over 20 employees who have a job and get served every day for three meals if you wish. also coming back from Germany or Europe helpers, making all learn a lot about the world and can work out every now and then her English.
on the weekend we were very clear what effect michael and dieter here. because we are in fact driven by the complete center to Sihanoukville (where we were two weeks now). So all employees, volunteers and of course the children. It was the first outing of the orphanage. off we went on friday morning. should actually take the bus 8am, but then we sat in there until after 10am. love the Cambodians would fall just before to just that the great coach so not up to the center over the flooded muddy roads can go. So we all had to bag and baggage loading area to that of a transporters and were squeezed together so and rocking buxiert to the asphalt road. maybe that was action-ne! we sat together in part of the transporter and the whole time, went over into potholes, so we had to be careful not to fall down. So we all held each other back and forth. then we had to duck us again if we went long under trees, because otherwise the limb would have caught us completely .. naja was pretty wicked - somehow funny and frightening at the same time, just an adventure in itself!
in Sihanoukville we went first to the hostel, where Martin and I have a room with laura shared. then the entire team went to the beach! you do not believe how great it was - for most children it was in fact the first time that they have seen in history that the sea! who made eyes and were so excited! in the water it was really the hammer, as the have swung at us and in a mixture of fear and overwhelming joy were super happy. there are always sooo beautiful moments when we realize that the child be happy with all my heart.
another highlight of this weekend was the harbor tour and birthday fete of several children and employees who were born in october. The celebration took place on the beach. There was a cake, gifts, small rockets, music and a blatant Seafood dinner with beer and cola. The atmosphere was absolutely great, we danced with the kids and start playing. there are many many beautiful photos made ..
on the last day we have a waterfall and watched in a temple on straw mats sitting eating lunch.
yes, and then we were on Sunday evening 18h drive to the 10 hour back in the center in Phnom Penh. when you consider that it is one of only 210km route was available, then already at the head .. Cambodians hold but also constantly have to pee to get to what to eat, throw up (at the end really have almost all their children eat again brought to light !!).. oh no, that is already sometimes quite beautiful annoying. but the ride was quite funny because it was a lot of singing. Cambodians are namely full on karaoke and there was just time fix plugged in a micro bus and everyone could sing, who wanted to. Laura, Martin and I were then stopped by all, to sing a German song .. We chose "he spun at high risk the" "on a tree, a cuckoo sitting" and decided. was also great, especially the extremely successful canon of Laura and me:)
JUPS, and so dispel weeks here in the orphanage like crazy. now it's already our 3rd week! but we will spend here and then move expected on Friday. It is sure hard to come to us from the children and the employed to adopt, as it is beautiful just right here. since then there's Laura, it rips right, because we consider ourselves great with her. they will be with us on the weekend for three days on our next trip. but then they must return back to the center, where it is still Christmas to help.
the time here in the center has made us not just a pause to travel from, let us dive deeper into the Cambodian culture and affect our human capital-can - but we have allowed so many great people get to know! laura, anita (crazy photographer who has been a week since), Dieter (doctor) and red (security) there are noteworthy. with them we will have contact with security continues. but yee, Bonna serej and made our time here to a particular.
lia suhner hao'y,
martin and chrissi
