hey,
Since we have tomorrow free (Election day, but we can not select us Anique has released yet) be Lilli and I go to Riekie and Arjen, bake cookies for the clients, so I have my laptop on loan now Lillis and write my report in calm.
Currently we are a bit sad because many of the employees that we may have gone or are planning to go. This is of course unfortunate if one is just here to make contacts. However, you will find many lovely people and this is a good thing.
Something to everyday life:
The nurses are real power women, they conduct around all day in the area and sometimes I'm glad I'm not a client ;-)....
Ina had already told us that it often complaints of volunteers or interns, because there is too rough deal with the clients and tw I understand it, because I now have a few views as one or the other one has been reached.
Sometimes I can understand the reason, basically, I reject this kind of off though.
Lilly says that it is probably a certain desperation behind it, and probably also true when one considers that come to about 50 clients in Group 7 of which 3 workers never all the time are present. Of course there are a total of more nurses but different layers uswusf ;-) ....
It requires quite a lot of patience and endurance to such a pile volume. Many are very, very sweet but each has its own peculiarities and needs to do to be fulfilled and when such a small petite woman care to twice as large and heavy man who will fight to enforce its will must is certainly no picnic. Last week there were a conference with such cases. The clients are allowed to (I think 2 times a week) go buy candy as a reward. This will now be deleted for those who behave permanent mark. There is such a woman wants constant attention and get them to make them trouble. Sometimes it strikes someone out of the blue, etc. Yesterday, she was allowed to buy any candy. She was then not so funny, her mood has not done well but one probably brings it even when one or the other something.
Lilli and I put it on in such cases, as we have more time and patience for us to deal with someone like her. Candy deprivation can cause a lot not their main problems. Ina said we should give her more attention if they would like, then talk with her, we deal with it, etc .... Is not that easy because they are so into her role involved is that it rejects almost everything. First sentence is always "Ek can never" sometimes I'm already really sorry for the
Some nurses are very reserved (or are we?) With some of us consider ourselves pretty good ... it's just us with the other personnel. Since we live here we are in contact with many people from different regions, I like totally love. I also try to have as much contact as possible to the clients of the other working groups and I'm already a few times with them when put in the TV room.
There are also other people outside of us living here, one is never alone.
Last Friday we have seen Dvds at one of the employees. Otherwise
can use as the lounges, evening watching TV or DVD.
Lilli's room is in the building by working well, it says "Tossnini" I live in the main building, "Klein Begin". There are next to other buildings that have names but I do not know now how they are written, so I let the ...
news in terms of diet.
The company has been taking care of the food changed, what advantages and Disadvantages.
advantage: the food is much better than before.
disadvantage may not eat with other employees for free, so sit Lilli and I'm always more or less alone at dinner. can
The tap water we drink by the way, but it tastes like chlorine and I do not like, so I always buy my syrup.
What else?
Lilly has hired a Beetle 70s, an old gaaaaanz Knatterding from. Is insured, etc and it even comes with high mountains, which is pretty handy. But also uncertain, so it is needed only for the most necessary occasions.
Hehe is because to me that I must necessarily take pictures yet ;-) I think Mama would have their fun on the
L But to try to spur more opposed J JWhat I noticed is that I slowly begin questioning is. I was disappointed at the beginning of something, because I'm here to ask questions and get answers but the settling-me so occupied that I am much less concerned current issues have taken care of. I do not know when I read last time reasonably newspaper. But it takes time to settle down and right to come and you must understand the language better in order to absorb the message completely.
said, the questions come slowly and it is growing. I have been asked today to Anique information material on Alta du Toit, then, can write in the near future even more about my project. One of the staff here
me and loaned Lilli Dvds.
Her name is Bettie or Betty (as always) and is very excited about cultural exchange.
She says that we need to know more about South African history and has lent us so films. Linguistically, it now works
better. My English has become quite well is always a bit of time of day. The other day Audrey was standing by 7 clock in the morning at my door to ask me something because I'm the biggest crap and tells it struck me yet again ;-) I'm starting
also slowly to speak Afrikaans. Sometimes both together ....
is actually Afrikaans total simple, but it's weird to say as a German-speaking at once, "the child" or "money", which sounds somehow verkeert:-D
me what is difficult is not conjugated in Afrikaans. Actually, we should think that is it totally easy, but since I'm used to conjugate the German and Afrikaans is often so similar, the feel of it wrong ...
the dialects are somewhat confusing. Some do not roll the r Other sounds quite different depending on who is talking, I think.
What will happen in the future:
On Saturday we go to a concert.
Monday is holiday again.
I miss the most:
The dogs, cooking, listening to loud music, talking to people who know me very well, decent showers
as for statements other 3 images which are now at the slipped beginning are, sorry:-P
