Today we returned to the kindergarten at SOS Children's Village. It was kind of a stressful day because of a lack of structure and discipline in the school. Largely due to cultural differences, the teachers tend to hand the class over to us and expect us to control and teach the children. Obviously, we were not exactly expecting to due this, so it put us in a difficult situation. Despite the difficulties, we still are falling in love with the children and have even more that we want to take home with us. We also got a tour of the village, which includes 13 houses, in which 110 children live. We're hoping to be a little more prepared for tomorrow, which will be our last day at SOS. We went to the beach again in the afternoon, which we are starting to take advantage of since we only have a week left. We're excited to be home and see everyone again, but we also don't want to leave this wonderful country in a week already.
