Yesterday, the 7th:
Everyone fit and well in Pokhara.
The team spent their first day in the Sunrise School, Pame, Lakeside, Pokhara - they taught many classes of children from kindergarten to grade 8 ( so anything from 4 yrs to 14).
Lessons taught included English, geography, maths, the solar system, and the ever popular football.
Simon in particular did a fantastic singing lesson and had the whole class singing African songs and the class also shared some favourite Nepali songs as dances with us.
It was great fun and everyone really got into it as the day wore on.
Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow when they get to do it all again.
They may also be putting some Shelving together for their library.
Today, the 8th:
Everything is going great guns- the expeditioners are being brilliant- getting
really stuck in and enjoying teaching at the school . We apparantly have to wait out for a fantastic end of course video on their return to the UK!
We'll post pictures as and when they get through... it will be intermittant though as recognising photo files is proving interesting to Pokhara Cyber Space!
Lovely to see and hear. Wrote my previous comment at the bottom of the wrong post: Spot the Braincell!
