Continuous from the previous entry....
The hotel where we stayed for three nights is called "Arabian Atlantic Hotel". Yes, it is true that it has a sea view of the Atlantic ocean, but the hotel itself is not as fancy as the name may suggest. It was a very simple place with very nice sea breeze, which is not always the case in Georgetown.
Gilly and I have visited approximately four schools a day. At the every school we visited, they have given us a bottle of drink and a snack. The first pop was yellow, and then red, bubble gum green and something else. I figured if I have to drink all of these, my teeth will fall off by the end of trip. Luckily, in Guyana we have a practical and polite way to not to drink it right away, by saying "I will walk with it." I was traumatized when I saw a head of chicken on a lunch table in China, and since then I was afraid what people would kindly offer me. We ended up with many bottles of these colourful drinks and snacks, and we gave all away to the staff at the hotel before we left. People were so nice and hospitable to us.
At the consultation, most of the teachers were very enthusiastic and cooperative to the project. From the second day on, Gilly and I alternated to do a small talk about the background of the research and the participatory exercise that we were doing. I might have to do some more of this needs assessment on my own after Gilly leaves, so it gave me an opportunity to have a good grasp of the research. We got to look around in schools, sat in one of the class (math!) and took pictures of adorable children.
