After a very warm welcome as always from Vellaimanal school
in Trincomalee, with their miniature band, shell garlands, flags and welcome
signs, we threw them into dancing, sports and arts and crafts. Once Amy and I established
that what we thought was a parachute was in fact a pop up tent (awkward!), the
children enthusiastically joined in with the games we had prepared for them.
This included classic games such as ladders and splat with the secondary school
children, although the boys were most concerned with getting the best angle for
a selfie with us. In the meantime, the primary school children were delighted to
play musical games and to play with the inflatable balls and parachute which we
did eventually locate!
It was a very hot morning, but was such a great feeling to
be back in Trincomalee. For me (Sophie), it was heart-warming to see that so many
of the children recognised me from last year, as they fondly remembered the samba
workshop we did and requested a repeat! It was also lovely to see all the
children completing a drawing with Sandra and Reanne to send home to all the
sponsor families in the UK! :)
