Mis amigos, familia querida
You see, I'm not as a jour with my entries and I think they have subsided somewhat in style. My excuse is short and compelling: there is at the moment to do too much!
in a few words here are some highlights of recent weeks:
visit from Vätu Patrick was in his spring vacation to visit us. Unbelievable that this is now again two weeks ago! Anja has enjoyed the time, although then again like to spend the afternoon with her very best (and containing far and wide only) girlfriend Kayla. Patrick helped us out at school and did a lot with our daughter.
We are with him in a traditional cost-Runa Huasi Kichwagericht gone. As you see, could even Patrick, who otherwise can not do anything with fish on plates, on tilapia have. 
character artist Anja The environment in which we currently live, is also affecting the drawing style of Anja: instead of cars and houses she draws containing Tortugas (Turtle).
Kichwahausbau Jan had asked Heiko, whether they build a tree house in the works are expected, which was denied. They agreed, however, have a play house, the guys were immediately attacked and prakisch made in the past few weeks alone on the legs or piles. They even continued to work on the afternoon because
. The anchor they have so done, how it had taught them Heiko six months ago once. The rest was hammered and sawed, shown us how to get it from their fathers. And the house is! Without a spirit level and right angles. The crowning glory is the canopy (techo de paja), which the children have woven from palm fronds and the 100% is water repellent. So we got another 
invaluable insight into the daily lives of more Kichwas: We were allowed to experience building a house in miniature. Right now the bigger guys tinkering with the interior and complaining, laughing, that the most important thing at the house anyway still missing: a woman ;-). Kinderfiesta
have left since last weekend, four of the big kids in the jungle to Switzerland, we had the night before organizing a Kinderfiesta. Last year the teachers have raved about this party and we found the whole thing to a good cause. At four clock in the afternoon we started with the joint preparations: Hang with candy and Gumpibällen filled balloons, so they could be down shot with the blowpipe, set up the music system (again, the object of the boys), prepare the food (again, the object of the girls).
After dinner, although the taste is not necessarily had yet filled the stomachs, the first started dancing. And these kids can dance! To traditional Kichwamusik called the boys the girls on perfect form and danced as the biggest names without looking into the eyes, but very body-conscious and confident. It was a feast for the eyes to watch. The blowpipe shooting was especially a hit with the youngsters, although they still had enough breath and not quite inflated balloons rarely brought to burst.
When it came to 9 clock, holding Yesseña a moving closing speech.
Although we have reason to now still not understood, they will next year no longer in Sacha Yachana Huasi to school but go to boarding school in Colegio like Tena. So this was her last day with their comrades. She thanked everyone for the friendship and the good moments in this school as an adult that would not have done it better, while the tears ran down her cheeks. left after the speech the children to school towards the river, to wait for Victor (canoeing). My class used the remaining five minutes to dance together with Yesseña. They embraced and danced round and spontaneously formed a women's and men's group and the children danced an old Kichwatanz where to go to the families and give each other something symbolic. I think, give the men Protection and fighting spirit, and the women food and fertility (or so it seems to me, anyway).
I sat leaning against a wall and watched the scene. Now it was up to me to wipe the tears. It will be very hard to leave this unique class ... Of course, Victor had
half an hour late, so that SA
cha missed the bus and spent the night in the teacher's house, which was a culmination for Anja. Imagine the situation in Switzerland before: a first grader after a party stayed away without the parents will be notified and the child is sleeping on a strange place with no problems. Here are photos and videos, if I think its time, now we need the bus. Hasta luego ...
