Hello!!! I\u2018m  Pia from\nGermany.  Here, I want to share my life\nfor the last 6 months in India. I changed my project at the end of November\ninto a completely new project. I am the first volunteer for my host family and\nmy project, and the first foreigner in my small village called Giliyaru. That\nis why the first week was very exciting for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0In my host family, I live together with my host parents, their 2 daughters and the sister of my host father. They are all really kind and the food is tasty. In the evenings, I spend time with the family – talking to them, playing with my host sisters or just relaxing in the living room. It\u2019s always family time. They also took me to some temple festivals, for some prayers and, for this region, famous Yakshagana dances. I stay in a big room with my own bathroom. I feel really good and happy in my host family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My new working place is a primary school not far away from\nmy home. It took some time to settle down there. Teaching English is completely\nnew for me. I didn\u2019t know how good my students already are in English and I had\nto teach from my first day. There was no time to come into my new role as a\nteacher. But it was getting better day by day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found a way to communicate with the students so they could\nunderstand me. Every day, I come to school at 9 o\u2019clock and talk to my\nstudents. At 9:30 am, school officially starts with some prayers and the\nnational anthem. After that, I begin teaching. Daily, I teach 4th<\/sup>-7th\nStds. There are 2 more classes with the children from 1st<\/sup>-3rd<\/sup>\nStds. Here, I teach the children with a method called Nalikali. It means \u2018learn\nwith play\u2019. I can always take a small group of the students out to teach them.\nI teach both classes once a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During lunch time, I get food in the school. It\u2019s always\nrice with different sambar and really tasty. In the last period, I play sport\ngames with some older students outside. That\u2019s one of my favourite tasks every\nday. They teach me some new games which are popular in India. The staff are\nalso really friendly. They can all speak a little bit of English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Sometimes, they\nexpect I can teach the students more than I can. I should teach prepositions\nand some high level grammar. But the students can\u2019t even build one sentence\nalone. That\u2019s why it\u2019s impossible to teach them what my school expects. All in\nall, I feel much better at my new place. The people are friendlier, I have some\nwork to do and I have a lot of fun with my students and my host family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
