Thursday

We had a very early start again, up for breakfast at 7 a.m. so that we could be at the Vocational School at 8 a.m. It was well worth it - the first group we had were in their 4th term of English and we all had some excellent conversations with them. They found out a lot more about each other and gave some great speaches at the end. They also did some role play which they all practised then played out to all the group. We ended the session with 2 of the girls teaching the Thai students to sing the chorus of Valerie, which was great fun. After break we went in with a group who had been learning English for 4 weeks. They all did very well and found out someithing about our pupils and our pupils found out quite a lot about them. We then did the exercise comparing the school day.

After lunch we took the blind children swimming in the sea again. They actually went into the sea this time and a great time was had by all.

We came back to the Center and got showered and changed and then walked up to Carrefour to get birthday cakes for Sam. After supper we went back to the shopping centre in town on taxis. After this it was time for the cake and this was followed by a party in one of the rooms. The pupils had a late extension - bed at 10.45 instead of 10.30!
