this is a photo from my new group. It was during a really nice session about Noah, which we finished with origami boats and animals. The children were really focussed on what they were making. The work is really good, although Dave and do have frustrations with the language; my group (who are really little) just assume that I can understand them, and they ramble away. Daves older boys know that he doesn't speak much Portuguese, so unless he speaks to them, they ignore him. This makes us realise just how impatient we are to learn Portuguese. Our new tutor is great, and we are having 2 sessions a week, plus homework. Dave is also enjoying the challenge of maintenance work, including how to creatively mend things with different (or almost no) materials.
