Today we all woke up early and went to the pool (river) to teach our daily swim lesson. There are about 40 students ranging in age from 10years to middle-aged men and they were all ready to start learning. They are so respect and they didn't want the lesson to end. We will be teaching these students for the rest of our trip. Everyday after our swim lesson we go to a different school to teach our water safety lesson. Today we went to Providence Catholic all girl school. We were treated like rockstars! The students all wanted to shake our hands, have us sign their school books, and sing us songs. When walking between classes mobs of students would rush us and it would take so long to get from class to class. Now for the amazing news that truly makes us rockstars...we taught Our Water Safety Education Program, today alone, to 661 students. This means our running total so far between our classroom teaching and our swimming lessons we have taught 831 students and we still have 7 more teaching days!!! Now it is nap time as we are all so exhasted and we will be doing this all again tomorrow. Wish us luck!!
