SATURDAY

Once again we sluggishly arose from our sleeping chambers for another early start. The early start was in need as we were summoned for more computer and English teaching at the orphanage. After an interesting and fulfilling morning for both us and the kids we ‘tuk tuked’ it back to the house for lunch and our long awaited resting time. At 3:00pm we made our way back to the orphanage for some thoroughly enjoyable bonding time. We started with friendship bracelet making. Lynne had bought special string for the kids so they could teach us how to make the bracelets. There are a number of different colours and patterns for us to be mesmerized with. Some say that the more you have the more children you’re loved by, and once again Megan ‘mother Theresa’ Sawyer took the crown with an almost full forearm of bracelets. Another game of chasey was undertaken in the mega playground, whilst some continued with bracelets and story telling. I was beaten up continuously by 4 boys, they may be smaller than me but boy they ‘pack a punch’ – all in the name of play! As we settled into dinner for some scrumsish battered prawn the dinner conversations once again became interesting and most likely seen as inappropriate but very humorous none the less. We have finished the evening with a run through of our ‘intriguing’ puppet show and are now watching the latest edition to the ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ saga.
