Teaching at the orphanages is amazing

29/7/2014

 
Hiya,

Back at project since Monday, teaching at the orphanages is amazing. I am just beginning to learn all of the songs and dances they do. For example, whenever someone does something good or gets something right we dance and chant 'WELL DONE, WELL DONE, SURE, KEEP IT UP' and all the kids join in! After morning teaching we make porridge for them as one of their meals for the day, lots of them are still in the process of learning to eat without making a mess as it seems more porridge gets on their face than in their mouth!

The girls in blue are the girls your money have paid for uniform so they can go to school, they may not look it on the picture but they were very happy!

Went swimming in the lake yesterday, the temperature of the lake isn't warm but it's a nice break from the heat out here.

Hope all is well at home and send my love to everyone working at the intensive courses!

Martha

Back to our projects this week so back to school

Hi again,

Sorry if there is a delay with emails, WiFi is very limited.

Safari was amazing, we were at lilonde national park, we saw the most amazing stars at night and then all the animals in the day. One of the most amazing experiences of my life! On Sunday we taught some of the local teachers hockey which was amazing and also very very hot!! Back to our projects this week so back to school for me.

Hope this is going okay,

Martha

The beach is our local WiFi spot!

Hi again,

I promised photos (in my uniform too!) so bring photos. The beach is our local WiFi spot, just to make you jealous.

Just been in librarys and orphanages in the past few days. It is amazing to teach the children (of classes up to 200 children!) English and numbers. The orphanages have younger children so they are all about 3-5 years old. We also give them some porridge each day, which is made in a big pot by the staff at school. Off to safari this afternoon in the national park in Malawi, so hopefully see lots of animals.

Martha

There at last

Hi!

So amazing here. I haven't really had a full day, been having tours, and visiting orphanages and local towns. Already been able to send some girls to school, and teach some English! The flights were fine, easy really, and the people are so lovely.

I will send a photo with my next email, struggling to get then from my camera to the phone!

Hope all is well,

Martha

Hi there, 

Just thought it would be nice to start it at the airport.. 

Just about to depart from Heathrow heading to Malawi, Africa. After (somehow) managing to skip the mile long check in queue and whizzing through security.

I am just waiting around for my flight. Hopefully all will run smoothly and I will touch down in Malawi in around 16 hours time.

Martha
