Esperanza at work
In school we had to pretend we were Esperanza and try out some of the chores she had to do living on the camp.
We answered these questions.
How did you feel about this kind of work before you started? How have your feelings changed?
Before I started I thought it was hard and I had never washed clothes with my hands.
What did you learn about yourself while doing this kind of work? Was it easy? Was it difficult?
It was funny but it was difficult. Cooking was easy and I have learnt it is hard to do that if you are a child doing these chores every day.
How did you feel while doing this work? Did you enjoy it? Were you proud? Were you embarrassed? Why? I enjoyed it but it was hard I was proud after I had finished the work.

Great job Mads! It is so nice to see you almost all caught up and able to contribute to our talks. This is a great post and I think you are starting to feel more and more comfortable writing. Which is great!
I think you got the point of this acitvity when you said, “It is hard to do that if you are a
child doing these chores every day.”
Keep up the good work!

Dear Mads,
I am glad that you felt proud doing these chores that Esperanza had to do on the camp. This is a way of life for so many young people in the world today and it is hard to imagine that they do all these hard domestic chores every day.
A very well written piece of work! Well-done!
