dighe's day 11
Fri 28th October - 6.06pm by Ed Dighe
today has been a great day. it waas the penultimate day at the school and we arrived just in time for their PPI (which is like a big assembly thing envolving lots of singing). when all the kids sing together its a breathtakingly awesome sound. after that grace fainted and passed out on the ground. so i spent the nect 2 hours sitting with her and making sure she was ok. in the end she was fine cos she was taken to the hospital where she got an injection. later on i taught a creative arts lesson where i got standard 7 to draw their idea of what heaven would look like, which went pretty well and i think they enjoy the oppertunity to colour stuff in. after lunch there was a football match between the victory academy and some other local school - we watched the first 20 minutes then the matartus arived so we left. it was really hard to leave the school today seeing all the little kids beaming faces and everything, i think its because i know that we're only going back to the school once more then thats it, and to be honest i dont really want to leave them all. on the way home we breifly stopped at the nakumat and then went back to the beach to pick up things we had ordered earlier in the week.
- there wont be any blogging tomorrow because we're on safari, jst saying.
- OH and at school today during lunch a large bunch of girls thought it would be funny to brade and plate my hair :/ im not gonna lie, it looked shocking - i dont think i suit plats :)

Hi Babes - sounds like another emotion-filled day. Life may seem a little flat here by comparison when you get back. Am so pleased you are having such great experiences with the kids. Will miss your blog tomorrow, but looking forward to hearing all about your safari on Sunday night. Watch out for those warthogs at night!!! Luvya xxxxxxxxx
