Day 6 PDF Print E-mail

Sian: In the morning we got up at a stupidly early hour to travel with Egroni (driver) to Louise’s school, GDQ. We started the school day with two assemblies for the kids, age between five and fourteen. They were getting very into it, dancing to Matt’s songs and providing lots of willing volunteers!!!

Matt and Jim led separate drama workshops for (English school) years one to four. They all seemed to enjoy making a lot of noise and joined in with plenty of enthusiasm. This was followed by “recess”, where we played football and “stuck in the mud” until we pretty much collapsed on the floor with exhaustion!

After that there were several tasks for some of us before we prepared for…. KIDZ KLUB ON TOUR!!! Which if I may say was received fantastically by all of the 53 kidz who attended. We left the hall in traditional Kidz Klub style with jelly all over the floor and a lot of hyper kidz with sweets! It’s all good!! Master Jermemy, Scatty Sal Engelbert and the team were very well received, especially the Ninja Penguin!
After GDQ, we had a meal out and went bowling in a UV lit bowling alley which was pretty awesome!! We followed this with a trip to the Sky Tower, ice cream and a revolving view of the city. Luckily for Jim, it had a lift.

All in all, yesterday was a fabbytastic day; this week has been an amazing experience. As we prepare to leave, we are all going to remember what we saw this week, the fun things such as Kidz Klub and the harder things, like seeing the Roma people. Louise is staying out here and she has really opened our eyes this week to more of the world around us and we hope to continue praying for her and supporting her in the amazing work that she does out here.
