LATE WITH LAST BLOG (Have been home 2 days now)
7th January (Monday)

Very sad day – our last morning at the school. After assembly we then went back to the classroom to change the children into their ‘work clothes’ (well, casual wear to save uniforms from getting dirty). Think I may have mentioned this previously. After a short while it was time to go down to the veranda for some running and obstacle exercises. This involved the children using improvised obstacles such as a cardboard tunnel to wiggle through (great fun) and a limbo frame. They had to run round the veranda (quite a long run as this is a large house) then use the obstacles. It was good fun the children loved it.
In no time at all the morning was over and it was time to say goodbye to the five lovely children in my class. I was heartbroken and saying goodbye was very difficult. After hugs and kisses a very emotional Shirley joined Wendy for the return to our hotel. I cannot praise the Principal and staff of this school enough for their devotion to teaching these special needs children in very difficult conditions.
This has been my first ever Project of this kind. I have had no experience in teaching special needs children but that did not seem to matter as all it needs is love and understanding and of course patients. A truly amazing adventure.
