Hello again! This is Betta the intern, back with an update about my travels and work so far. Desplácese hacia abajo para leer esta entrada en español. I have been in Santiago, the capital of Chile. I’m staying with a host family on the outskirts of the city, helping them practice English and helping with chores. During the day I work on projects for GatherBoard and explore the city, and in the evening we converse in English. I’ve also visited the neighboring city of Valparaíso, known for its street art. I have really enjoyed learning more about Chilean culture. Chileans have their own Spanish dialect, music, and food (they like to put avocados on everything, even toast and hotdogs). A cultural aspect that I really admire is the focus on community and family. Chilean neighborhoods are centered around public parks where people gather to connect at the end of the day. Sometimes cemeteries are used for this too! My host family is particularly close with all of their neighbors, and the father has plans to build a door through his garden wall so that he can talk to the neighbors more easily. At 8:00 or 9:00 pm, the whole family comes together to eat dinner and talk about the day. Holidays such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Children’s Day are very important. I think those of us in the United States can learn from this, as too often we are afraid of our neighbors and are too busy to cook and eat meals with our families. We can’t really belong to a community if we don’t take the time to meet others whom we share it with. I hope that tools like GatherBoard can help us find ways to connect with our neighbors and involve our family members in building a stronger sense of community. I’ve been working hard on a few projects for GatherBoard. So far, I’ve created an automated system for sending blog posts to social media, automated subscriptions to GatherBoard’s email lists, and created blog content. Look for a post about how an event calendar can earn you money! I’ll be back soon with more stories from my travels. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actualización de viaje #1 Hola! Esto es Betta la pasante, regresa con una actualización sobre mis viajes y trabajo. He estado en la capital de Chile, Santiago. Me quedo con una familia anfitriona en las afueras de la ciudad, ayudándoles a practicar inglés y ayudando con las tareas domésticas. Durante el día trabajo en proyectos para GatherBoard y exploro la ciudad, y por las noches conversamos en inglés. También he visitado la cercana ciudad de Valparaíso, conocida por su arte de la calle. He disfrutado mucho aprendiendo más sobre la cultura chilena. Los chilenos tienen su propio dialecto español, música y comida (les gusta poner aguacates en todo, incluso tostadas y salchichas). Un aspecto cultural que admiro mucho es el enfoque en la comunidad y la familia. Los barrios chilenos se centran alrededor de los parques públicos donde la gente se reúne para conectarse al final del día. ¡A veces los cementerios también se usan para esto! Mi familia anfitriona es particularmente estrecha con todos sus vecinos, y el padre tiene planes para construir una puerta a través de su pared de jardín, de modo que él pueda hablar con los vecinos más fácilmente. A las 20:00 o 21:00, toda la familia se reúne para cenar y hablar sobre el día. Feriados como el Día de la Madre, Día del Padre y Día de los Niños son muy importantes. Creo que aquellos de nosotros en los Estados Unidos podemos aprender de esto, como muy a menudo tenemos miedo de nuestros vecinos y estamos demasiado ocupados para cocinar y comer comidas con nuestras familias. Realmente no podemos pertenecer a una comunidad si no nos tomamos el tiempo para conocer a otros con quienes lo compartimos. Espero que herramientas como GatherBoard pueden ayudarnos a encontrar maneras de conectar con nuestros vecinos e involucrar a nuestros miembros de la familia en la construcción de un sentido más fuerte de la comunidad. He estado trabajando duro en algunos proyectos para GatherBoard. Hasta ahora, he creado un sistema automatizado para enviar publicaciones de blogs a las redes sociales, suscripciones automatizadas a las listas de correo electrónico de GatherBoard y contenidos de blog. ¡Busca una publicación sobre cómo un calendario de eventos puede ganar dinero! Volveré pronto con más historias de mis viajes.
