in the prison!!

No, I haven´t been in the prison, not as a prisoner!

My spanish school I.C.A. has a project in the prison for women in Xela and the last Wednesday (23.09.10) me and three other students went with the teacher Edwin to the prison.

We played some games with them, ate cake and drunk Coca Cola together. The first game was with a hoop, we hold each other at our hands and had to climb through the hoop which made a round through all people. When Edwin stopped to clap, the woman who had the hoop in this moment had to response a question like: Do you remember the name of your first boyfriend, or: What color has your underway today? We all laughed a lot!

Second game was not really a game! We made groups and every group had a huge piece of paper. Every group wrote their wishes for their lives on this paper. After this, we students decided which sentence was the best on every paper. So hard! All were really good and emotional (with God)! The woman who won, got a present.

 Another good thing was the Jenga-game, you know, this with the tower. This was so much fun for the women. We made two rounds, or better, the women were crazy to play a second round! And after this, both losers had to dance with each other!!!

Our last presents were cake and Coca Cola!

It was so great that all women participated in our games, my teacher told me, this is not normal! But they, and we of course too, had so much fun this afternoon. Poor thing was, one woman is pregnant and two other are living with their children in the prison. All together are 39 prisoners!

I couldn´t take pictures inside, it wasn´t allowed to take the camera inside. But a man made some pictures, I hope I get some of them, then I can post some!
