My placement at CAASAH consists of babysitting children with HIV/AIDS. There was a strike at the schools for two months before we got here so all the kids were at the facility, but it ended right before we started so since I started there have only been like three kids everyday that are too young to go to school. They are way cute and we enjoy being with them but it gets slow and boring a lot. I asked to be able to work on other projects such as cleaning and repairs of things that looked simple, but still needed to be done. They said yes so on Friday we fixed some stools for them. It was fun because the kids really enjoyed helping by holding things tight for us.

Scott and I were also a part of a parade where we walked from Campo Grande square to the Pelourinho, Scott said he heard that there were 12,000 people there, mostly kids. It was fun, there was a truck that is used as a stage for Carnival that was blasting music that all the kids were singing along to. We got T-shirts from it too.
