Day 4: Shovels, Paintbrushes and Kickboards

15^th January 2014

Today started off like every other day, there was construction, swimming, painting and feeding programs. Two groups did the morning and afternoon feedings.  Both times the groups ran out of balloons and had to tell the little ones that there was none left, the sad looks on their faces was hard for everybody. The types of balloons that we usually make are spartas (swords), aso (dogs), bulukaluks (flowers) and crowns which the kids all love. The construction has been progressing and higher walls are being built everyday. The painting has also come along way, the whole place and playground looks so much brighter and lovelier.

The poor little nursery children weren’t allowed to go swimming today because they had just had their vaccinations so we ended up just spending the day playing with them. After a hard days work everyone sat down for a delicious dinner of chicken adobo then headed out to the children’s home for devotions. A few of us girls went to the Jazz home and shared with them, which was really nice because we got to see their house and how suited it is to their needs.

After all this we headed out for Starbucks before a late night samurai movie staring Keanu Reeves which most people fell asleep in, I however loved it and was glued the whole time. We ended p getting back at just after midnight, which is why the blog is so late.

Missing everyone at home but also having a fabulous time.
