After another wonderful breakfast
together, we went our separate ways to different project sites.
Emily and Flo introduced a new
system of learning at the primary school, grouping children by identifying
similar strengths and needs. Working with groups had their challenges but with
some tweaking this new format of teaching seems to build positively on the
one-on-one format.
Don and Margaret continued to
work on ironing out the details of the next earth box shipment and also on more
long-term planning such as partnerships and cost-cutting strategies. They also
worked with the Health Center on records and documents in hopes of developing
some stats on island nutrition.
Carita had her hands full at the
preschool (Kids' Step), making materials to help her teach and get through to the
kids. After some discussion, her recommendations seem to make a difference!
Katie and Tracey continued with
the Roving Caregiver Program (RCP), following a different outreach caregiver than the day
before. Today going into homes proved challenging, seeing some uncomfortable
differences in various aspects of life. The caregiving staff themselves are very
inspiring; opening up and sharing stories and ambitions.
We returned to JJ’s
Paradise for my first taste of octopus! Quite delicious, with great company and
of course a Piton or two. Looking forward to tomorrow!
