Monday began week two at "El Sol" school. After classes, we headed over to the Peruvian Air Force school where the children of the mechanics of the Peruvian Air Force go to school. A group of five of us talked, in english, to a classroom about life at an American university and the students responded about the differences at Peruvian universities. The differences were many, including not living on campus, taking specific entrance exams, and free state universities in Peru. The students are around 15 and speak varying intermediate levels of English. Some are better at English than we are at Spanish, others are not. They are all really excited to see us, and a little nervous, they mentioned. There was also an opening welcome dance as well as a school rock band performance. They are so welcoming and happy to try their English and listen to our Spanish that everyone is smiling as soon as we get there. Unfortunately we only have an hour with them before the Northeastern students take a history class. Afterwards a couple of us played a basketball game with some of the girls at recess.
