Chill and Ano's Workshop

Image
After such a big day with plenty to do, a 'chill day' was warmly welcome. Breakfast didn't start until 9am and therefore we weren't required to awaken until 8.59am, and even then, many did not stir. For those of us who did, it was a very quiet one which ended with almost everyone returning to bed.   Thankfully, today came as a perfect opportunity to catch up on the washing too – I know for me personally I was running low on clean clothes and by looking around me it became obvious that I wasn't the only one. The washing lines were completely full by 4pm when we prepared for Ano's workshop on how the fabrics are made.   For those who weren't aware, this happens in 3 different ways: tie dye, bleaching and printing. We received a long explanation on how tie dye works and the different patterns that can be created – the samosa, the banana leaves, and then any random pattern you tried. Next was my favourite – the bleaching. It appeared as though the lady helping j...

Lutengano Welcome and Ano's Homestay

Image
Welcome day at Lutengano, they clearly didn't know we were coming but they put all the students into their hall which meant that the singing was great. We did some pretty awful dancing at the front for a laugh. The "scouts" then ruined the floor by smashing bricks over each other whist pouring buckets of water over each other making the floor look like a building site. After Lutengano because was a sweaty day we then had a large water fight in the quad which was absolutely awesome but came at the cost of Ano's jeans and a flooded bathroom. Ano's homestay- was a fantastic experience. When we turned up we had a very large meal which we were surprised to find out was only a snack to be followed by an even larger meal, however both of us did our very best and almost finished all the food because we are fatties. We learned Ano's life-story and then marvelled at the night sky with minimal light pollution which meant that we were surprised by the amount of stars and ...

Lubala Teaching Day

Image
We started the day with breakfast made by cook team 3 which consisted of fried bread and fried eggs. This was definitely one of the best breakfasts of the trip so far! After arriving at Lubala 40 minutes late (thanks to Lulu), we were separated into the classes that we would be teaching. Each group taught a different subject, including health, feminism and human trafficking. My group taught Form 5 first about the benefits of a balanced diet, the effects of salt and sexual health. We then had a break where we were offered noodles, chapatis and tea. After this we moved onto teaching Form 4 which ended up being a class of about 130 students. The students were sometimes reluctant to ask questions but were eager to learn if the facts they had previously been taught were true (some of which weren't). We then taught another 40 minute lesson to Form 6. Although these students were some of the oldest at the school, they had a lot of questions to ask on the topic of sexual health. This made ...
