Hoping y’all are happy – approximately 5000, or so, miles away from us.<\/p>\n
Certainly so, today has been simultaneously exhasperating and incredible. <\/p>\n
First of all we divided our international team into two, one group worked with the smalluns in the preschool and the other begun on the majestic mural project. Towards lunchtime the groups merged and with the beautiful little children we saw their eyes twinkle as they ran under a multicoloured parachute and the sun shone through the rainbow pattern. After another divine lunch from the cooking team, Seb worked particularly hard to wash the dishes clean.<\/p>\n
We all travelled in this fresh bus we have for the two weeks to go and purchase saris and sarongs. The culture of the Sri
\nLankans is something to appreciate without a single doubt and the people define selflessness and humility.
\nThe Artisan shop amazed us with sarongs and pottery and saris, many of the boys bought sarongs here. However we ventured further into Hambantota to a market shop. The saris in this shop mimicked the delicate, intricate embroidery and shimmer of that of the Indian Vogue. Each and every sari was overwhelmingly beautiful. The girls each bought a sari. After a pacey drive back home in the legendary bus we prepared for the arrival of our buddies. <\/p>\n
Today was Christian’s birthday, throughout the day we have been wishing him all the wishes and he even got given a crown at the preschool. However, his buddy bought him flowers, this was a stunning gesture from her. With our buddies we decorated our tote bags and played many a games. The very last activity consisted of sitting in a circle and singing songs. First Matt, then Emily and finally Sam and Lily each showed bravery and courage as they led this wonderful time. Throughout the day I have laughed muchly with everyone and additionally, with my newly found friends, I am sure everyone has. Both the girls and boys from Tzu Chi are truly fantastic.<\/p>\n
We do most definitely miss everyone a little\/lot but are having a time greater than a king first placed upon his throne.<\/p>\n
Peace out;
\nElodie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
