my vetca experience

now, reading the interns blogs i wish i had my blog earlier this summer so i can share my experience in camp with you. anyway i can tell you about my experience at vetca this year, although i was there only for two weeks excepting work week. at first i taught it's going to be easy, no sentiments involved, i just translate and that's all. after my first day in camp i began to realize that it's something more. at first the kids weren't so enthusiastic about being in my team but soon after they started to cheer with us and do anything they could to get the points. first week of camp for me was more like getting used to camp and activities there.
unfortunately the last day of the second "week one" came and tears began to appear in people's eyes. even the kids that i never thought will cry after camp cried their eyes out. this was one of the most emotional moments of the second week.
the seventh "week one" was great! i had a great team, the kids in my team were enthusiastic and all of them wanted ti win. unfortunately we were on the second to last place in the end. i can't say very much about this week because almost all went according to plan. the worst thing in the seventh week was that brian had food poisoning, but god lifted him from pain and cured him. all i remember is that about 2 am brian and ovi were talking in the tent and after that brian, brian (briman) and ovi went to the hospital.
after that was the time to break down camp vetca. everyone worked hard so we finished the job in just a day and a half. i had a great time breaking down the camp, or better say riding on the roof of the van, being chased by dogs and stealing corn from people's gardens.
i just want to thank for all the friends i meet in camp! all in all it was a great experience for me in camp vetca this summer!
