Bolivia is under a state of emergency because of flooding. When we got to school yesterday our entire elementary wing was flooded. Our house has kept pretty dry except for Sunday in the middle of the night our bathroom and bedroom were under water that had came out of our toilet :( Thanks to an open sewer system. Here are some pictures of the school grounds and some of the creatures they have been catching in the waters.
Yesterday I went to pick up my 5
th grade class and I couldn't find a route that we would not have to just walk in water. Our entire campus is underwater and most of the staff were going barefoot. I opted to leave my sandals on because of the worms and frogs and all other manner of creature that were trying to find dry ground on our sidewalk.
The library is surrounded by deep water so there is a path of bricks to skip to the library. Some of the bricks had gone under.
Some of the staff have been joking that now we all work on lake front property. The sidewalks are at least six inches above ground level and they are underwater so the water is at least 8 inches deep in the middle of this shot.
Here is our soccer field underwater. You can see the goal and the bleachers.
These are some catfish and an eel that were caught on our school campus! In case I haven't mentioned it we don't have a pond or river on our campus. After seeing these many of us were disgusted that we had been walking through the water with these creatures
unbeknownst to us.
