Aim's in Africa
EVERYTHING GOOD COMES FROM ABOVE!
We have done an exellent job of the garage for one of the creche's, does have an hillarious story though to go with! The garage is at the pastors house next to the chuch that the creche is based at, it was full of alot of junk that he was happy to get rid of, but the things he wanted to keep he decided to put into the roof space above the garage and his living room! We arrived to paint the day after this to find that everything had fellen bringing down the pastors living room ceiling!!!! On a positive note it is a wooden ceiling rather than plaster so only required being nailed back up!
Its really hard to try and go back to update on whats happened at creche coz everyday is so different and full of funny stories. They really can make me laugh and cry everyday! One little boy fell asleep colouring in yesterday so the teacher made him stand up, but again he fell asleep!! Been teaching them alot of different stuff over the last 2 weeks (it really has been that long since my last proper update, time has flown, helped by a weekend away!) Keep getting a new favorite everyday so have decided to not have one and love them all - i do anyway! I can't remember if i ever wrote about the little boy that slapped me round the face but anyway i got a full apology from his mum and he has now changed creche's, feel bad but i really didn't make a big deal about it! Some of the kids are really naughty and i've even had to start giving them the odd tap as its the only way to get a bit of respect off them, but i think they know i'm soft so doesn't usually make alot of difference! Had my digi cam out on them and they all just scream and crowd into the pics! its all good fun!!
think i've already said in my last quick update bout my bridge swing but i'm saying it again anyway! AMAZING is the only word for it!! And the suicide jump the only way to do it! You jump and roll as you go into the swing and just keep going gettin slower and slower until the drop you in the water, where you swim to the edge unhook yourself then walk back up! All perfectly safe and a bargain discount price because the guys at the hostel loved us!!
Well Swaziland tomorrow then onto Mozambique on Sun so doubt you'll hear from me till i get back!! Well looking forward to a week of sun sea and sand!! Swimming with whale sharks, surfin and lots of seafood!!
