Health programme & weekend with whale sharks! Melody shares her experience!
Ooh-la-la! What a weekend we've had! Domingo, Sunday, we snorkelled with Whale
Sharks. I think this is the only place in the world where people can get in the
face of these gentle giants. And I mean, their mouths are huge! Hundreds were
lazing, feeding and swimming when we were there- what a sight!
Ah yes! Back to work on Monday. Our week
started with Equine Therapy, then the Special Needs School starts at 8am
Tuesday morning. We go by bus or by taxi to the school where we are greeted by
the smiling faces of these children. We help with practising play they are
producing for their last day. We then have breakfast and then after, help brush
their teeth. Outside play is an activity they really enjoy. They kick balls,
ride on bikes and cars, and jump on the trampoline. Phew! After that we all
sing songs; we go in the sensory room
after that, where we would roll around on mats. We do story telling and what
ever the children enjoy. One o'clock seems to come quickly!
We take the bus down 30th Avenue
and walk to the apartment for lunch. Some times we eat at a Mexican restaurant
for variety.
Monday was our day to cook for all the
volunteers (there's currently 8 of us in the house!). We made roast vegetables
and steak with tomatoes for salad. Ice cream is our favourite desert. What a
way to end the night. We fall into bed afterwards because we are all exhausted.
