Sarah and Aiden are sitting at the back of the house, in front of fifteen girls who are forming a semi-circle: Xiaohui (from China), Francisca, Antonia and Panya (from Brazil), Rosa and Camila (from Venezuela), Pari and Harini (from India), Panya, Chione and Femi (from Egypt), Esma, Azra, Merve and Hande (from Turkey).
With the exception of Hande, all the girls are between eighteen and fifteen years old, and all of them have equally determined expressions on their faces.
The girls are demanding to start with more intense training. They don't want to only run around and increase their endurance.
"You just arrived. Why don't you take it easy?", Sarah asked.
"We are here for two weeks.", Rosa responded. "We took it easy."
"Don't think that we are not grateful, we are.", Xiaohui added. "Everything we have here is great."
