2 August Day 9

Today we had our first day at the library it took a while to get there as it was a 20 minute boat ride and then also about a 10 minute walk to the libary. the libary was eally well set up. it was started to bring reading to Santiago as the schools are very basic and most schools do as the victorians did and copy off the chalk board at the front of the class. Then the libary grew and hired teachers to help with homework and other problems t do with school work. As a team we were given some jobs that Amanda who runs the library so we split into teams and a few people put new books into there laptop. A few cut ot shapes and pictures for class´s next week. some helped teach some of the kids who were in one of the class´s. The rest of the team were shown a room that they wanted to make slighlty more kid freindly. For the room we have decided to make a beanbag, paint letters on the wall with a picture to go with the letters. We have also been given use of a woodwork shop in a private school so we are going to build them some shelves and a case to keep there larger books in. we will be continuing or work there on monday. Once again we had another bithday in the team s happy birthday to Vanessa who had a big cake to celebra a very big cake to enjoy.
