josh collet's day 11

day 11-
we started the day as normal, eating breakfast with bad moods... We went to the school and attended their assembly which is held every friday. The singing from the school gave me chills and i can honestly say ive never had those chills before, it was amazing and inspiratational to see the enthusaim they put into their beliefs and seeing that has inspired me to make that more a common thing in st andrews. In the assembly me and other students performed a short drama piece which was about the man who built his house on rock and sand. The kids laughed and smiled soo obviously it had a positive effect. By the end i was jumping, dancing clapping and singing my heart out with the school as it was such a great atmosphere. After assembly a girl fainted. Her name was grace and i was with her a lot of the time before she was taken to the doctors. It was great to see her friends applying basic first aid and were brillaint to have around why looking after grace. I teached a couple of lessons and spent a lot of time with lewis (my sponsor child). Its sad to think that after monday i wont see him for a very long time, he is such a lovely boy and its him and all the kids that makes me want to give everything i have to the less fortunate. Me and a lot the st andrews stundents and staff are dreading leaving the friendships weve made.... hope everyone is well xx

Hi Josh! The assembly must have been really uplifting. I expect you're all really looking forward to the safari. It will be sad to leave all your new friends behind but great to think what an impact you've made on them and them on you. Lots of Love from Me. Xx

Hey Josh - great to speak to you earlier although I'm really sorry about your painful ear. Hopefully the antibiotics will work quickly and you'll be feeling better very soon. Can't wait to hear about the safari. Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday. Take care. Lots of Love Mum. XXX
