Week Four

13 Jul 2009 at 13:32

Hello All,
Thank you for all the feedback etc
So a week today I will be home, I cant belive how fast my time has gone.
Last week we continued our acitivties, we visted Ushaka Marine (a water park) decorated mirrors and lots of other things.
As this is our last week we've got lots to squeeze in like a party and visiting the farm as well as lots of play time!
I will be so sad to leave SA, the children and the people I have met.
Hope everyone is well.

Sooo.... another week is over :(
but its been nice and busy!

When were not doing organised activities we play and chat. Its so ncie to get to know them better and Im definitly getting the names learnt, and likes and dislikes.

So far I have spent the week at the orphanage, wse are collected everyday from the volunteer house- which is big and has a pool (which is VERY COLD) and then we spend the day helping out with the younger ones mostly, as everyone of school age goes to school and talking to the older ones when they get back. We play alot in the morning, they all have so much energy! and then its lunch at 12, followeed by teeth brushing and then nap time- thats when we take our lunch!

At about 5 where dropped back at the volunteer house and then its dinner, relaxing and usually an early night.
Yesterday was our first day off and...

So.... Im feeling even more excited now that Ive had my training day in London yesterday which was really informative.
Met some fellow volunteers on my trip to Agape but also some people that will be going after me.
Everyone was really lovely, sharing their fundrasing ideas and just a little about themselves.
Im feeling pretty motivated now for some more fundraising within my university which I hope to get started on after this Easter break.
Most of all now im just deperate to get there and meet the children to start my south afrcian experience
