12th June

We started our day with a tour around the families workshop which sells beautiful cushions, bedthrows, candles to places like John Lewis, WH Smith, Accessorise etc. We saw the material store room and it was amazing, was full of bright colours and fabulous designs.

we then went to the shelter and began our first full day there. Instead of being given a small group of older children we had the whole range from 5 to 16 and there was about 20 of them!! it was crazy.

we began by making musical instruments out of pots and shakers out of rice and bottles. It didn't go so well at the end though with kids starting to hit each other over the heads and rice being thrown on the floor everywhere. So we quickly decided on a new game called cups! The older kids seemed to enjoy it but the younger ones didn't really get it...

Lunch was interesting. We were given a really bitter vegetable called karala which we could only manage about 2 mouthfuls..

we spent the whole afternoon making a wash our hands poster which was a success out of ripped up magazines.

|spent about an hour trying to call for a cab (as dehli is so populated you have to ring for one about 2 days in advance) whilst amelia tidied up..

in the evening we had a tour of the farm, fed the cows and compared the size of millys grapefruits to the ones here...
