As ever we have been
busy, busy, busy this week! At Asha Foundation we gave making rice flour a go –
they are planning to make a special sweet bread which is traditional during
Tihar, a festival that will be happening next week. Hilary, one of our
volunteers had a real knack for it, but the rest of us were quickly
substituted!
Our new volunteer Kate
arrived this weekend. She has begun working at Ward 6, one of our childcare
placements as well as at the Street Kids centre. She has really enjoyed her first
few days and is settling in really well!
As it is still the
holidays here and the children are not back at school yet, we have been working
hard to provide fun activities to keep them entertained! At the Street Kids,
the volunteers have taught them how to make bracelets and they love this. They
all now have arms full from wrist to elbow! One of our volunteers also brought
out with them some fabric paint and so we are also planning this week to take a
plain white tshirt for each of the children and they can decorate. Here they
are planning their tshirts…
Ramesh, one of the
boys at Street Kids, decided to turn his tshirt into a Spider-man outfit and
made himself a mask aswell! He looked great and spent the rest of the day
‘being’ Spider-man!
Two of our volunteers
are currently working hard at SOS Bahini. Hilary is running conversational
English classes with the children as they are not at school – the children love
these classes and the fun activities she comes up with! Tania, our other
volunteer at SOS Bahini, is here on a Film and Photography placement. She is
busy creating a professional promotional video for them as well as taking
beautiful photos. Here she is in action photographing Hilary’s lesson…
