Day 8 - July 16th
Photos have now been uploaded to the previous message.
Day 8 was our second full day with the children. The morning's events included craft activities and small games (inc. making crowns that the children then proudly wore for the rest of the day) and team games including football in very long, sharp, scratch-inducing grass.
It was so long due to the recent rain and the fact that school had finished a few weeks earlier. The children themselves started to cut it the following morning with their families' machetes (frightening looking things). In the afternoon we taught them how to play baseball (well, softball really) which they seemed to pick up incredibly quickly, especially the batting.
