Yesterday had to be one of my favourate days so far...we went to a primary school in the valley and helped teach a life orintation lesson which involved doing some dramas on rights and responsibilities. But before we did the lesson we arrived when it was their break time so were helping set things up when we were swamped by the younger children :) i think i must have had about 6 children trying to hold onto my arms and they followed us around till the bell went. None of them could speak english but they were so fasinated by even the little things like our sunglasses, bags and it was just so lovely. We then had class and had groups of grade 7s which we did our dramas and performed them.
One of the other project philangethemba helps is income generation, today we went in to see the ladies who were making bags, which they then sell and send some to england and other places i think for fairtrade, and i asked them if i could commision them to make me a bag and they got very keen, showing me all the different bag styles and materials and i had a great time rumaging though and choosing materials :) :) so im very much looking forward to getting my funky blue and red flowered bag :)
