There was an earthquake yesterday, no biggie. Also, there was a typhoon, my barangay (area of sorts) is fine. The earthquake was pretty close and clocked in at 5.9, I slept right through it no problem. The typhoon definitely poured some rain on me. The steps to my host family house were absolutely covered with running water. I walked up a babbling brook.
Also, power outages. I've bucket showed by flashlight now, actually a surprising number of volunteers had the same idea as I found out the next day.
Now it's just rainy and there's a chance another swirling typhoon might strike us. I hear it wont but we'll see.
I'm looking forward to teaching a literacy class this Saturday, it has potential to be quite the learning experience for me. As I mentioned earlier in another post, I might get the chance to co-teach literacy to street youth, this is a fleeting chance to gain some experience. The lesson planning is difficult as one must make something simple enough to pull off but also challenging for the youth. I don't know how we're going to do it but boy would I like to do it well.
I'll let you know how it turns out, assuming I don't get swept away in the rain and wind.
