There was no psychologist and pedagogues meeting today because Lea went sick… But I met a director of Turvakodu. Her English was brilliant but she had problems with pronouncing my name.. it was like ‘Ba…. Sha? Bashya’ … Finally I told her the truth… ‘My name is Barbara…and Basia is a polish shorter form of my name’. She said that Barbara is a beautiful name but I didn’t believe her ;)
I spent some time (2 hours) with a girl (who works there, 25 years old) her name was something similar to Merlin (like this wizard). She told me some stories about the kids. I met 5 of them in age 1,3,4,5,7.
But today my attention was focused on little Hannah. Her father disappeared and no one knows where he is.. her mum lives with a guy who displays violence.. that’s why Hannah is in the children shelter.
At the beginning Hania (that is a polish shorter form from Hannah) was afraid of me and was staring at me without blinking. I asked her ‘Mi su nimi on?’ (what is your name) but she didn’t want to reply.. After that we had a lunch and Hania wanted to fasten a bib (śliniaczek) but had some problems. I asked her in a body language if she wants a help and she nodded :) So that was a step to our friendship. I fastened her a bib and we had a small talk she was saying ‘yes’ and I ‘no’ and then she was saying ‘no’ and I ‘yes’.
After the lunch kids have a time for resting (they should sleep during this time). Hania told me ‘NO’ but I said ‘YES’ and we went upstairs to put her to the bad. To make her falling asleep easier I had to read her a book. The only books they have are in Estonian.. so obviously I read her a story which I have no idea what was about J Hania seemed to be delighted but instead of watching pictures in a book she was observing the effort I was putting into reading this weird words.
Coming back to the lunch time. We had a soup which was like a polish krupnik but with grinded meat and for dessert was like ours white cheese with a cream and peach J mniaaaami.
Tomorrow and the day after we’ve got days off ('we' means me and the girls) so hopefully I will do loads of pictures. Ou! And tomorrow there is an Erazmus party…. which will be epic with our attendance :D
Stay tuned…
For today I’m giving you the view for this crazy bridge which I was writing about in previous note… (picture is from the internet.. now everything is covered with a snow)
