Parents conversations we last months would be allowed to do, alone worth a trip to Ecuador!

I did not quite know what to expect, but was still vague in the ear, what our predecessors had told the parents of talks. We have prepared well, All that we wanted to say about the children, we have translated in English and in some cases even practiced reading out loud. Words such as "independiente mente" (independent) remained until the last conversation stumbling blocks, although Steffi found out that the word can be better remembered when it sings.

We have decided that only those teachers who always go to House of family who teach the children, so teacher and Gloria, our English and Kichwalehrerin. Because I can boast, the least bad to speak English in the teacher's house, I was always with the purpose of translations. We soon realized that many families like us have all seen in their home. Especially when Heiko, the man was missing, was always asking for him.

Even the return trip was quite exciting. Fortunately we always had Gloria us, almost all of their family and Homes knew. Mostly we stöppelten a canoe and went for 25 cents per person to the other side. Then we followed the little paths through the plantation to the respective houses.

There are always barking and leg lean dog, the compassion aroused received. Not infrequently, the dogs were also injured, and finally is treated not just with them squeamish. We moved our knee-high boots in front of the stairs and climbed up the steps into a hallway, where we stopped the conversation.

After the usual "Händestreicheln" without getting to look into the eyes, we were welcomed to sit down. Often it was the two sides should initially not quite well, we did not quite know how to behave towards the stranger. Laugh often helped to break the ice. After a brief introduction of each teacher read his lines about the English and the other students had the opportunity to observe the Kichwas it. Then came the parents a few questions, mostly about the conduct of the sons and daughters. But also, why the child starts at school so little learned (the Ecuadorian school system one year earlier, therefore, the children of the state school longer, if it were a direct comparison peers does). Not

last gave them the future of the children to think: How long they may continue to SYH? What are their options after that? How can we prevent the children forget their German after school? Anita, the older sister of Mary, a nun in Guayaquil, work suggested that the children during the big holidays and after school in a big city in a German family leave (like our country Welsch year). Reuben, the father of Abdon, asked if his son, possibly a 10th should make year SYH. He could make the Ecuadorian Colegio done and continue to be but very good German . Maintain We are pleased that the families think with that and we want to see if we can do as what.

Kichwahäuser Most are made of wood, have a kind of thatch and about three rooms are on stilts and look to European eyes is rather poor. Under the house romp chickens and dogs. The house itself is an open fire place on a low, square wooden table. No curtain or grille protects the interior from insects. (We are in the teacher's house so protected twice: first by a fine mesh barred window and then through the mosquito net Maybe this is an error to occur, not the bugs that is.. everything out, once they are there, so we are always half-starved frogs ...)

Mostly we were eating too little or drink offered: eggs with green shell (of a special chicken), soup with chicken, only chicken, yuca and Plátano (in a soup or cooked), oranges, papayas, Oritos, a complete typical Selva court (of 6 different dishes on the plate I could only determine Yuca with safety, all delicious, tasted only the White Cacao we brought down not) to drink juice or chicha. Meanwhile, I'm quite Chicha-rehearsed, but filled up a cup with a diameter up to 15cm to the edge and still warm - I bring the best will not run out.

If we were offered a full menu, we were the hosts during the meal alone and retreated to the kitchen. Quite used to. And we learned that it is impolite to ask a guest if he wants to eat or drink something. It is believed that the visit is always hungry and thirsty. On the part of the score, it is impolite to ask for refreshment and more (or otherwise) to demand, as is offered.

found in any of the houses a toilet. The Kichwa do their business obviously outside or in the nearby river. But we found all the Christmas gifts that we have given the families in December at home. Many of the recorders were broken and lying with the Tupperware vessels anywhere on the floor. Only the class photo seemed to take more care to families. Hanging in almost all prominent in the input space with other images. (The photos will last longest when they are laminated.)

home, the children were not as nice and clean clothes, as they each carry in school. The "school uniform" is protected. Also we noticed that the front doors often closed. What is somewhat meaningless in our eyes, for a possible thief could easily climb over the gate when he could not open it.

was exciting and was the human factor. I think we were often in my foot, but what we have been very quick to forgive. The seating arrangement is an example: Once, we were welcomed to sit down. We sat on the bench with his back to the table because we are the father, who was lying in the hammock, could look at Sun Later joined then add the mother. They also sat down at the table in such a way that we are right in the back had. Now we were in an unhappy position sandwich and had our heads during the conversation always turned 180 degrees. On the seating plan but we wanted to change anything, we wanted to adapt to the hosts. Gloria later told us that we had initially sat down wrong, we should have put us right at the table, even if we had so the hosts had in the back. Who would then in due time, when the woman with the craft would have been ready, set to us. Our seating arrangement had occurred the Kichwas strange, but they also wanted to change the habits of the other ...

In almost every house we felt welcome and felt a pleasant, friendly atmosphere. Only in three houses we did not feel that the talks did not take long and then left her with us an unsatisfactory feeling.

The visit to the family of Luiz, Alirio and Danilo is remarkable. At the first meeting, the parents were not to leave home without notice. The boys wanted to show their disappointment that we do not stay with them and wait for the return of the parents. the second attempt everything worked. We could read our list. And since the three boys whirlwinds , and we could not boast only our monologue was always by Herlinda, the mother interrupted, because the one question son the riot act to Kichwa read. Very amusing to watch. We brought the conversation but a conciliatory statements and assured the parents that they can be proud of their offspring. The subsequent typical Kichwaessen was a hit! Of the 7 food offered, I knew only the yuca and the tilapia fish. Everything tasted good (except for something indefinable, which later turned out as a white chocolate).
