day 4 for louie.
Fri 21st October - 6.21pm by Louis Webb
On this day we 'St Andrews Kenya boys' instroduced the olympics to our the Frere Town school! It was brilliant, the kids loved it. We even had the locals watching with most of them wanting to participate. There is a football pitch down the road which we used - however shade was minimal so sun was maximised , meaning i drunk over 20 gallons of water and seemed to sweat it back out again! Our stations consisted of chalenges such as water carry, football dribble and beach ball shuttle.
however befor this I had a chance to teach a Drama lesson with my colleague Josh Collet. Went down a storm with the children aged between 13 - 14 , it gave them something different to learn, think about and most importantly enjoy. Just to see them smile it makes you believe inside...there were few difficulties however communication could become a hinder sometimes as well as their confidence to come out of their shells. Although this comes with waht happens behind the scenes.. :/
The attitude of the group is great and I hope the rest of our trip will live up to what it is at the momment..
lots of love mum, dad and dolz.. :)

Forgot to write it on my blog but if Parents or Hague is reading this: Louie's drama lesson was amazing today, he was enthusiastic and clear and showed more than one Hague cath phrase :)

Jambo Louie, habari yako rafiki.
I have been following your African adventure as your Mum reads your blog out to me. Your blog has reminded me of growing up in Kenya and the way you describe the people and the surroundings brings your experiences to life for us thousands of miles away in the cold and dark of England's October.
Keep up the great work dude.
