hiya everyone!
i would just like to say a big thank you for helping me raise the money i did to bring over here! today i went and bought books and took them up to the school. the school had wrote a list of what they needed and i managed to buy everything on it which is amazing and will have such a big effect on the school. i literally got them new exercise books for every lesson and every class, there was over 200 in total. this now means that the children in the school will have a better education and hopefully learn alot more, as before they had one exercise book per class to learn and read from where now they have over 10 per class which means they can share between 2.
when i went to the school today we got such a good reaction from the children as we drove up, they all were waving and shouting mzungu mzungu which means white person! the 2 classes i taught there remembered us from the week before last and were shouting us, which was lovely. i love the children there. all the school stood around sang songs to us again and clapped after receving the different books. they all looked so happy to see us again and the teachers were very happy to get so many books to help them teach.
its such a good feeling to know that the school is going to benefit so much from the books we managed to give them from a simple race night which hardly took any effort to organise! i love africa and am so glad i came here! i want to book my next trip here already and i havent even left yet!!!
i have also been on safari this week which was brilliant. i seen all the animals you would expect from the lion king lol but i did realise that if they werent on there i didnt no what they were and wasnt that interested in them lol. the gariffes were beautiful and are still my fav animal by far. didnt see any exciting lion kill but did see them eating something which was crazy to watch. its such a surreal experience as you forget the animals are in the wild as there is so many vans driving about and watching them all. they dont even bother when you drive up next to them at all. it definatly beats flamingo land zoo any day of the week lol
once again thank you all so much for helping me buy the school the books they needed! it really is true that not a lot goes such a long way here!!
lots of love
