Leckere vegetarische Versorgung. // Good vegetarian food in the hotel. |
Zwischenseminar bedeutet so viel wie Halbzeit. Und da ich
mittlerweile weiß, dass es nach Peru mit einem Master-Studium in Schweden
weitergeht, werde ich etwas früher in die Heimat fliegen, denn das Studium in
Schweden geht bereits Ende August los. Somit ist bereits über die Hälfte der
Zeit hier in Peru vorüber. Im Rückblick bisher kann ich sagen, dass ich trotz
oder gerade weil es nicht immer leicht war, auch viel gelernt habe. Ich habe
das Leben in einem Entwicklungsland kennengelernt, auch dass es manchmal dem
deutschen Leben gar nicht so unähnlich ist. Ich habe gelernt, dass ein Wechsel
besser sein kann, als sich irgendwo zu quälen. Ich habe wesentlich mehr zu
schätzen gelernt, in Deutschland aufgewachsen zu sein und bin hier oft an meine
eigenen Grenzen gestoßen. Heut geht es für die nächsten 5 Wochen in ein neues
Abenteuer. Meine Mitstreiterin Wiebke und ich wohnen bei einer Gastfamilie in
einem kleinen Dorf bei Cusco und werden dort in der Schule ein großes Projekt
zum Thema Kompost durchführen. Dies wird wiederum eine völlig neue Erfahrung
für mich und ich bin gespannt auf unsere Erlebnisse.
Bis bald, vielleicht in Cusco
For the midway seminar I visited for the last time Tingo
Maria. In a jungle lodge just outside of the city all the volunteers of ecoselva
met Roland, our mentor and Iris, our
coordinator from Germany. The
program included the presentation
of the work in our projects, joint
reflection, what our organization can improve and more.
Besides, we volunteers enjoyed it to be all in a heap again. There was extensively talking; we were also celebrating
in the primitive disco
in Tingo Maria and took plentiful advantage of the pool of the
hotel. One of the highlight was a visit to a waterfall and the owls’ hell in the national park.
Midway seminar means as much as half is over. And since I now know that after Peru I will go for my master's degree to Sweden, I'm going to fly a little earlier to Germany, because the studies in Sweden start already in late August. That means more than half of the time here in Peru is over. In retrospect, so far I can say that I have, despite or perhaps because it was not always easy, learned a lot. I got to know the life in a developing country, and that it is in times not so unlike the German life. I learned that a change can be better than to agonize somewhere. I've learned to appreciate a lot more, to have grown up in Germany and I often come here on my own limits. Today I leave for the next 5 weeks in a new adventure. My volunteer mate Wiebke and I live with a host family in a small village near Cusco, where we will work in a big school project on compost. This again is a completely new experience for me and I'm excited about the next 5 weeks.
See you soon, maybe in Cusco
yours Karo!
