We finished the second week of orientation
and the free time this morning has been well deserved! We have been immersed in
TEFL teaching training and orientation into Colombian life at a non-stop pace.
Thursday of this week was pretty exciting because we visited the US Embassy and
the Colombian Ministry of Education. When we got to the Ministerio, we entered
a surprise press conference with the minister herself! We were then featured on
multiple news outlets yesterday including national TV, online articles, and the
front page of “El Tiempo” (The New York Times of Colombia). This was all
unexpected but exciting attention. Heres a link to the article.
This is the picture that was featured on
the cover of El Tiempo. The journalists asked us to jump as a joke… guess we
can never trust the press : )
Anyways, life is going well. We’ve driven
by my school a few times which is very exciting. It looks huge but this makes
it very easy to find. Hopefully in the next few days I will find out more about
school and my host family.
Hope all is well in the states! Will update again soon!
