Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I became the weekend supervisor of the Intermedios for 7 weeks. The boys are split up by age into their dormitories with the Pequenos being the youngest, followed by the Intermedios, the Medianos, the Grandes, and finally the Mayores. So I had ten 9-11 year olds from Saturday morning until Monday morning. I am again grateful that God sent me to work at the Eckerd camp before Bolivia. I broke out a lot of skills I learned there, having the boys huddle up for behavior issues, sending table setters in early, lots of therapeutic group games, chief's log, and even reading a bedtime story. Being a dorm supervisor is a TON of work, and I don't think it is by any means my full time calling while here. But as long as I wrote out plans ahead of time, we had LOTS of fun!
Cleaning out the last of the cow poo from the pig farm that will be adapted for guinea pigs (we like our animals).
My boys working hard!
We also burned out some of the brush.
This was actually a failed attempt at punishment. If they didn't complete their responsibilities in the morning, instead of going to the school soccer field to play, they would have to work in the pig farm. I think they enjoyed working way more. At least they ended up tired at the end!!
