Fir d eischt si ma d „Teachers“ op Happy Valley siche gang an noo de Stasie-Kanner si ma d Kanner fum Plakkerskamp siche gang. Leider sin der just 4 aus dem Plakkerskamp opgetaucht. Mir sin di aaner awer express net Heem siche gang well d Elteren sech net sollen dorunn winnen, mee mat Zeit um Treffpunkt solle sin!  D Kanner goufen an hier Klassen opgedeelt an jiddereen fun eis 5 ass an eng aaner Klass hellefen/kucke gang. Den Ooflaaf ass genau firgeplangt an openeen oofgestemmt. D Thema fun deser Woch wa Emotions. Leider ass muer an e Freiden Feierdaag.. an och keng Schoul.

Today, for the first time, everything went like we expected. We got up in time, took a quick breakfast and so we were not late this time. First we had to fetch the teachers and the Stasie-kids, then we fetched the kids from the Plakkerskamp, but only 4 kids showed up. We didn’t want to get the other kids from their houses because otherwise they will get used to this and wouldn’t learn to get in time to the meeting point.

The kids were split up in their different classrooms and we joined them to help and watch. The teachers get the program of the day and the theme of the week was “emotions”. Then we spoke to Lee about the things we will buy for the project with our budget and we made a shopping-list: 4 heaters for the classrooms, white t-shirts, paint, nappies, puzzles, books and a CD-player.

After lunch we played with the children on the playground. We get to know them better day by day. After school we had one hour break to eat something. In the afternoon we spend our time with the older kids, playing soccer, painting their own puzzles and playing Juggle Speed. Dolly learned how to take pictures and she really loved it. Other teenagers learned to juggle with 2 and them with 3 balls.

Back at the farm, the whole neighbourhood had no electricity and no water. YAY =)

We played Jungle Speed and after one hour the problem with the electricity and water were fixed. The weather got better during the day. Dieter and Marloes left for Cape Town to fetch a friend from Holland. For dinner we got bean soup with bread. We are very tiered after the washing up as usual.

Good Night
