My morning has been really bad. I got a stomach upset and watery feces.
New environment, foreign pathogens perhaps have stimulated my immune response. In
Sarana, I teach some new animals to Ruwani and Premali (19 years old, same age as I do) as other kids are still
at school. No much teaching today. Once the other kids are back, they ask me to
draw more human- animated drawings. I think I have done as much as 3
pencil-drawing and 3 coloured ones. Tomorrow some other kids ask me to draw for
them as well. I also include some motivating, encouraging messages, and also my
email (so they can stay in touch with me after I left) in all my drawings.
Premali and I |
During the late afternoon, I teach them Justin Bieber song ‘Baby’, they
do enjoy it! But the beat is a bit too fast for them to catch and hence, they
translate the English pronunciations into their own language. Surprisingly,
these kids have an English teacher. He is Sri Lankan and so far amongst the
people who I have a chat with, his English is good although the accent is still
strongly local. In addition, I get a reply from the vice president, and it is
fixed that I will move to Catholic children home with other intern from China who will
be coming this Sunday. I have not told the kids yet, maybe this Saturday 19th
is the better time.
