On Saturday we organised to take our 20 Orphanage kids plus their house mother and her daughter and the 2 of us to the beach for the day. After a bit of football shopping, all the more relevant as the African Cups of Nations starts, we all piled into a mini-bus designed for about 12 people for the 45 minute journey. The kids loved the beach , played in the water and with the sports stuff we had taken. We had a buffet/barbeque lunch, more play and back onto the bus back at about 5.30. We are exhausted!
On Sunday we took most of the day off, spending time at a more local beach until mid afternoon when we went over to the Orphanage, spending what we would call family time, teasing and joking with the kids and playing games or sporty stuff – things you would find it hard to engage a British child with, skipping ropes, ball games, ludo.
Ok, nearly done with the weekend, only have to organise our activities for next week……………so we’ve sat up making a few demonstration finger puppets and cutting up felt into enough squares to make 60 as a starter – never a dull moment, oh yes, just the primary school session to think about now.
