Last night we were supposed to start tutoring refugees from Ethiopia. However, the program isn't ready to start yet or something because instead of tutoring, we ended up at the museum next to the absorption center drinking coffee.
The feeling around the absorption center is weird. The center isn't so much a single building as it is a neighborhood. It's basically an American style housing project, playground and all. From the outside it doesn't look so bad, but it definitely has the feel of being in a slum. We toured the actual school where we will be working. It's like a brand new American school, complete with bean bag chairs and new computers.
At some point during our tutoring sessions, we are supposed to start going to the children's homes and working there. I honestly have no idea what that will be like. I have never met anyone from Ethiopia before, so it will be interesting to learn about their culture and experience their lives.
