This morning I managed to get up relatively early and get showered while the water was still warm. I spent all morning writing out instructions for the solar lamps I had bought, to be translated later. Going into classes was out of the picture because they had exams/tests today, so it was best just to leave them to it.

At break I took the instructions down to get them translated by the standard 4 girls. They did a good job but we ended up scrapping most of it because they needed to have some porridge and I wanted to say goodbye to Chrystal and Caroline before they left.

We started to prepare for the party by getting all the food out and dishing up the jelly and popcorn. The kids started to arrive and we handed out their masks and then split them up into standard 1 and 2 to play the games.

Me and Tom had standard 2, so we got them all in a circle and got them to sing whilst doing that, so they weren’t al chatting. We sat them down outside and played pass the parcel 6 times. They loved it, if any of them tried to move; switch places in the circle we sat them in the middle for one round and after a few had to do that they were all very well behaved.

We gave everyone some jelly and then a piece of watermelon and sent them home. Some of the orphanage kids stayed around so we played games with them for a bit.
