Tuesday – A Rainbow Day – After The Rain

IMG_2626 The volunteers got off to a good start on a brisk, sunny morning. The Galileo School had become a familiar and comfortable environment for us now.  We relax in the teachers lounge; share teaching ideas and strategies; walk the halls with smiles; and make new friends with teachers and the hall monitors.    IMG_2564

We lunched was at the Le Bistro Tavola Calda (hot table or cafeteria) .  Volunteers selected from a large army of meat, pasta and fish dishes, calzone, and salads.  The walk back to the Vecchio Mulino Hotel was enjoyable in the cooler weather.

As our time here advances, we look in retrospect.  Have we helped?  Have we made a difference in Monopoli?  The consensus is “Yes” as we see students smile.  We gather up memories as we prepare for our imminent departure for home, which is coming upon us too soon.IMG_2563
