When we arrived we walked up the hill to the Pre-School
with children waiting to greeting us with their handmade flags. Sophie and I read
the story of the Rainbow Fish and after made Rainbow Fish Hats with the
children, pictures for the sponsors and then we had great fun with the children
playing parachute games and blowing bubbles.
The children then did their own show for us. They showed us what they had learnt in
English telling us all about their families, best friends, and then named
different animals, fruit, vegetables etc. in English by showing us a picture of
each item and then telling us its name.
I don’t think I can really explain how I felt today. It was so emotional seeing these little 4 and
5 year olds. Their behaviour was exemplary,
the smiles on their faces was magical.
Although they were worried at first soon they were coming up to us and
holding our hands as we sang the Hokey Cokey.
The hardest part for me was handing out the Milo (chocolate drink) and
biscuit to the sponsored children, but not having enough for all the other children
that had turned up who were not the preschool.
Today was a great priviledge and for me I gained more than
I gave; and I thank everyone at the Pre-school for allowing us to visit them
and be part of their team.
After our time at the schools we were welcomed into the
home of the Headmaster and his family for lunch. We were treated like Royalty! Whilst there his daughter also decorated all
of our hands with the most beautiful and decorative henna. Thank you to Janapdeen and his family.
