Pumpuru School

Yesterday, we arrived after midnight at each of our Latvian homes. All the students welcomed us in their homes with a warm smile on their faces. Once we had breakfast and got ready, we set off to our destination school: Jurrmalas Pumpuru Vidusskola. When we arrived there we were greeted with a warm smile by the teachers in charge of the school parliament project, their students and the parliamentary leaders of Pumpuru school. 

They have made a presentation in which they explain us what activities they carry out in their daily life and how they face and approach their parliamentary proposals. 

A little later we went down to the school canteen, where we were offered a delicious meal. The truth is that we are shocked, because it is only 11:00 in the morning and the students of the center already have a copious meal. At that very moment we realize that we are immersed in a new culture and habits that will surprise us and provide us with knowledge that we still do not know.

After 12:00h we head towards the train station (which is in front of the school) to catch a train that will take us to the Latvian capital, Riga. Once we arrive, Pumpuru Vidusskola students tell us that we are going to make a small tour of the city. After making groups of four/five people, they offer us a map with the most characteristic monuments of the city. We have to find these monuments and take a group selfie to show that we have found them. We had a great time.
