Dengue Fever Relapses

preparations for departure

So here is my last post until I on Monday at 18:35 from Cologne / Bonn from start flying to Quito.
The one-week preparatory seminar in early August was very nice and informative. It was very interesting to meet other volunteers and it was from the first moment a feeling of connectedness in the group.
The activities and units that we had together was one, for example, the "World Trade Monopoly game" in which we were divided into groups and then had to try, with the sale and production of paper circles and triangles as much money to earn for our party. I belonged to the Party, France and we were right from the beginning to have a lucky position (as opposed to Togo, Brazil, etc.) to a pair of scissors. This Technology monopoly we have then exploited to us to secure a dominant position over other countries. Other parties were playing such as a corrupt press (who won at the end), the "neutral" World Bank, the UN (she was the unjust and outrageous developments powerless over it) and other countries.
The game has been very successful, in any form on Earth there is injustice, and how difficult it is to end the domination of a country, without it they give up on her own.
This game was just one of many exciting and wonderful units that we have experienced at the seminar! In addition to the units we have in the evening Capoeira, Thai boxing Salsa lessons and organized so that we can now well equipped to take our years of working abroad.
I am very happy my volunteer service with the ICJA complete, because I feel really well prepared for my year abroad and mentally attuned to it! When I arrive in Ecuador, I first prepare a further seminar (from 18 - 20 August) and then I'll to 6 September live with a host family and attend an intensive English course. Then start my work and will move into the home of my children project.
farewell parties are now the past and I'm all stressed out because I still have to pack everything. But somehow it is still all go smoothly! The
