The last week

Posted on 12 Oct 2009 at 09:09

It has come around so quickly, apologies for no photo's I left my camera lead at home! Will post some when I get back. The last week has been quite low key, we weren't in on Monday and didn't have time to organise an outing for the littel ones, perhaps next months volunteers could do that. The leaving/combined birthday party was fun - they all know how to sing happy birthday very loudly. As we leave, the younger children are in a nice routine of organised play, fruit time then singing in a circle - they know the order of the songs already and love joining in and dancing about.
Homework class needs constant supervision - like any teenagers homework is the least favourite thing to do so volunteers need to come with ideas to keep it interesting.
This has been a great experience and I have learned a lot about South Africa and myself - not least the art of patience as everything runs on Africa Time which is the same as whenever!
I have not yet made a decision on how to spend the money generously donated by family, friends and colleagues, I think I will go home and think about my experiences and the various needs that I have recognised within Agape and the wider community and take my time so that the money is used in the most effective way. A small amount was spent on the days out for the older children which they did enjoy.
I will put a final post on the weblog when it is confirmed how the money will be spent.
See you soon
Carol
