Just to update you on the toilets, they are now finished. But the pictures of before and after really don't show the change and work involved.
Put it this way none of us use to drink all day so as not to use them but it is a pleasure now. Good project full filled.
Done what I had to do in Market this morning, then off to teach the Monks for couple of hours. They are so keen and are learning well.
I was going tomorrow but have been asked if I would mind not going. !!!!!!
Not happy about it as told them I would see them, and take the photo they wanted but can't be bothered to argue.
Plus couple of kids want there hair cut and it's at the same time between there lessons, and it's my last day tomorrow. How sad it is going to be, it will be so hard, they have already given me little gifts of friendship bracelets and thank you letters.
Anyhow after the monks I went to the orphanage checked the toilets out, making sure they are looking after them. Played games plus we all played rounders great fun.
I always try to leave before dark but it was tonight, just a bit scary cycling plus you can't see the pothole's
It is Nou's ( she is the person to help you get things done. Married Matt just after I arrived) and Mom ( tuktuk ) drivers birthday today so have surprised them tonight when they came in with cake and a little party. His face was a treat although he is 19 don't think anyone has ever done that for him before. He was one of the orphans. The evening followed with a bit of a cream fight, messy !!!!!! But fun. Don't know what they put in there cream but you need paint stripper to get it off. So greasy.
Well I guess you are still in Xmas holiday time, dec,s came down Xmas night here, as the kids had school at 5.30 boxing day. Poor things must gave been exhausted.
I can't believe my time has come to an end here, so tomorrow we are having an arty craft session in the afternoon. Making necklaces, purses and think they are called blubbers. ( kit of making plastic bracelets Like the save the heroes etc)
It will be sad leaving but I plan to come back and will write to them.
Plus I am to sponsor two, and send monies for shampoo etc, or Plummer whatever it takes to keep them use able.
