Today’s journey was much quicker and more straight-forward as
we arrived at a pre-school in Chenkalady; a much larger town than the remote
village we visited yesterday. Again we were greeted with beaming smiles and
flower garlands to wear. The school was nicely decorated in crafty bits and
learning resources that the children had made. The walls were a bright colour,
yet the room felt slightly small and dark inside.
The children joined in with more fun activities with the
end of the session being the parachute. The children were all very excited and enthusiastic,
joining in with full participation.
We were very fortunate to be joined by Dilanee and Rev Rohita
who watched and clapped along whilst we did some samba dancing led by Sophie.
The children also performed Tamil dances for us. This has to be our highlight
of the morning. They really were incredible and it was so lovely to watch some
of their own dancing that they practice in their school.
