Update Canaan and more!
Carlitos is still there. He is doing well, he may rumzustenkern it, but every now and then you realize whose fault is it then but not what and whom. With his young age of 19 you could tell that he still needs to learn (I say that as much as-mature!). He will probably run away too soon, because after so many comments is a no Choice than to think "He just does not understand yet .... or it will not ...".. I can not even do much, because what I would tell him he has been told many before me. In the right situation I still try every now and then him on the right path to steer. More I can not ultimately do so.
The 2 new brothers are gone after 2 days. Only the third new, Carlos, he said, is still there. I also understand that he is, not so new because it was some time ago once in Canaan Intern. He knew the words. Monday he saw compared to previous Friday for world better. He was doing well, he is quite open and cheerful person. He had previously lived on the street. But, as I learned today that a 1-month-old daughter and a wife. But because he drank a lot, he's finally landed on the road. Today he was quite hurt, as yesterday - day of visit - no one has come from his family. He knew it was probably his fault, but he still would have liked to see his daughter. He wants to learn English, so I tried to teach him Thursday, the alphabet. For an hour I tried it the letter "g" and "h" in English corral, unfortunately without success. We've also noticed that the memory was not as the best, although he is not older than 45. As homework he must practice it now!
Another pastor, who looked after in Desamparados, another part of San Jose, a parish, and in Canaan once a week therapy sessions gives me some time ago asking if I was in his church is not a time to week could teach English. There is a lot of people want to learn, but no money for a teacher. In addition there such a teaching in such an environment people positive perspective, especially the many young people there. Therefore, once a week can make sure I can jump in anywhere of course not, because "only once a week" is for me a full day, after work, with arrival and departure; but I'll see what I can do. I told him at the moment it was time something moderately tight, but as soon as my dance class is over, I would like to do. He is now in the process create a list with the people that are interested, then we will see. He asked to search for a driving opportunity to go home. That's me all right, in the evening you will never like to be alone on the street. For images of the "church" which he showed me the area seems to be poor, so you can connect to minimum security and many drugs. We'll see how that develops.
Jimmy (you see, my older pictures!) Has reported a few days ago the pastor that 4 Interns Marijuana No smoking. Then little fanfare, everyone wanted to kill Jimmy. The four were yes Allan, Steven, Kevin and Johnny. Allan wanted to throw a bucket according to Jimmy, then he was forbidden to leave on the day the project. As Allan so goes to school, and they did not give up, he then left the project. Now lives, "he in a cheap hotel, he can just make such with prostitutes, not the best place for a drug addict.
Yesterday, on Sunday are, he and his parents came to the center, as Allan's brother David is still with us, they visited him. Allan's parents will not let him stay with him, because everything seems to be happening. David looked bad, when he came to us. Mitlerweile he looks much better, still very small, but one he sees the "drogadiction" not so, it has grown his hair a bit and he trains regularly, submit to the muscles and therefore also weight. Steven has
then abruptly packed his things. Why, no idea. 15 days he was missing to complete the 6-month program successfully ... did he not feeling well. As a small parting gift he has taken Jimmy's clothes and then wrote him a nice farewell as a thank you letter that he squealed.
With Kevin and Johnny so far nothing has happened. Guess they had a serious talk with the pastor and are on probation. Johnny continued to smoke anyway, Kevin I know nothing. Other
very amusing story. About 2 weeks I have my dear friend, the policeman Johel, visited briefly on the work. He was in full police gear. Etc., etc. Big Schu-proof vest, a police car and two other colleagues at the gate in Alajuelita and asked for me. As in a chain so they called after me "Benita ... come here ... there is someone for you." I saw Johel and walked around the grounds to the gate. I passed about 4 interns, who were all such as frozen and followed my steps with the eyes. I greeted Johel and we talked briefly, he was at work, then had to go again. When I went back they came directly to me and asked what I had to do with them. Johnny is not at all pleased that I have to do with a private police. You could not believe it, it was a kind of outrage from the one or the other to feel in the air. Wilberth thought I had problems with the police.
Pipa, one of the "chief Interns, and Leiman, another internal (in the pictures of the white cap and white shirt), have" fought "in front of about a week because of some medium-sized thing, or beaten, therefore, the two have now again a bald head and Pipa is now a normal sintering. Hence, only Juan one of the "Supreme".
Johnny and Leiman have 2 days ago on the way to Work out a telephone conversation, which is forbidden. Juan has informed Wilberth, and now Johnny has a bald head again. He now looks no more like Daddy Yankee, but like Vin Diesel, as he himself says so very modest.
David is now in the process of learning German. He finds it very amusing that I am so behind to teach him German. But he is very motivated, German is an interesting language. The alphabet, he can already. Ä, Ö and Ü he practiced last week before falling asleep, now he can finally say it. Has gone on, not IUE, but finally to say OB.
Wilberth is a therapy sessions twice a week in prison in Alajuela. This is one of the most dangerous prisons be here, or the prison with "the least security." There, he asked if he could take with me and it was allowed. Today he told me on 19 together we go to jail. This is certainly a pleasure.
Maikol, was reported by him several times, is now returned. Where was he? Good question, he says he was in Guanacaste, Costa Rica from a different province, with a female companion. Believe it does so no. Let's see how it develops with him.
have also been two other new ones. Of a still somewhat closed, the other very nice, keep on withdrawal, but nice, spoke English and told me in getting to know "Oh, the German, I've heard a lot from you ."...
Lately I do a lot with Johnny, who had the left the project. mitlerweile We are good friends, and I find it quite reasonable that he times gets me through a different perspective on life. Last week he told me that I was the only one of his friends who are not using drugs and stealing. In such an environment it is hard to build a decent life, but he is . on the way, just that he needs precisely, it took a cooking class, I should perhaps do even
Last week the first misfortune. My phone was stolen I can not explain it to me, I was not careless and got. nobody in my immediate vicinity have noticed and taken care of my bag, but there is no success someone to steal my phone from my pocket. Everything else was still there, even my MP3 player, just that phone was gone. Very annoying, you should not at best think about where the phone now is ... It's just never sure! ... Have my number blocked. The pastor is Desamparados then after work drove me directly in the city to gather information for a new phone. If I had gone off alone, I'd probably higher prices will be served. When I was alone in a Elektogeschäft, and let me advise, suddenly came a man with extreme alcohol flag, blue Eye and scars on the head to us. He had a fairly good Sony Ericsson in the hand, similar to mine, and interrupted our conversation, because he wanted to know how much his phone unless value. I could not believe this guy seriously with a mobile phone was stolen shortly before, probably in front of me and wanted to flog obvious as soon as possible (like mine!) - The drug benefit coming. The next day at work you could otherwise not around then sum up the man's good that I have not bought a phone for 20 euros, "he would have done anything, he just needed money for drugs." My immediate answer was "No, I do not buy stolen stuff!" "Oh, Benita ... everyone does it ... it is everywhere stolen and everyone is buying stolen phones "... I was very perplexed, had the situation not at all thought about it, to buy such a guy a phone, even if it ultimately might be cheaper than buying a new one. I was also aware however, I've definitely done the right thing. It may be that all do it, but only because now all the stolen phones, steal so many people. So if any one were to maintain my morals, the world would be a bit better, you just have to clearly . Fortunately, I am saying so social.
On the same day I then went with Johnny again and got me with it a new chosen for about 70 €. Not in the quality of my old one, but probably better that way, it's still nice. Mitlerweile my old number is activated again.
Benita is back in the game.
Johnny was also a very good support, just as last week my dear Grandma Mary died. In the project I was very supportive, everyone was there for me. On their way, they have not come all and have their condolences expressed, but in the right situation, they have given me einzelnd courage and talks about how some of them were in the same situation, or as my grandma now freely without pain see in the sky. Although I am not very religious to me this view the whole thing a little easier. My grandma is now celebrating so left out with the grandmother of David and grandmother of Leiman ... let you go well, Omi!
Last Friday I got myself free and I took time with some friends for a long weekend in Puerto Viejo down on the Caribbean coast. This place is crowded with tourists, or better "gringos" that make it a good time. Our hotel "Rockin Js" was beautiful.
We
for 4 dollars a night have slept in hammocks covered in the open, you could have in a tent or sleep in a room can. Hammock ... that was something new, definitely a nice experience. The hotel was very clean and almost exclusively in the mosaic style. Everywhere they found messages like "rooms behind on you, your mother is not here," "Do not write on the walls, you're not in prison," or "Here Please do not smoke pot, go to the beach!". I found quite amusing, and has also acted in some way.
not at all like the tourists!
"No shirt, shoes, skirt, NO PROBLEM!" "Beer now cheaper than gas, drink dont drive!"
Say no to drugs, that will bring the prices down ..
