Where has the time gone?
Almost a full class today with 14 boys in attendance. Today we learnt present simple and prepositions. There was more opportunity to work in smaller groups allowing you to see who understands what and the individual levels of English. I still can't get over how enthusiastic the boys are for learning and they are so polite.
The yoga teacher turned up today so the boys spent part of class undertaking yoga postures...hilarious to say the least as I've learnt some new postures and taken some very cute pics. Indian children love having their photo taken. I think even more than Australian children.
Once class had finished, Anisha and I were walking out when yet again we were met by my little friend. She honestly is the cutest little girl, made more so by the kisses she blew us as we got into the car to drive home. Today we were also approached by a young boy, approximately 15 years old wanting us to teach him English. The sense of willingness and enthusiasm to learn never ceases to amaze me.
After lunch we had our last lecture as part of our volunteer program. It was given by one of our colleagues from Lilly India. The lecture was about The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership in place here in India. Tuberculosis is a major issue. It was great to hear the work being done and learn about the Lilly India way of life.
This afternoon post our lecture was quiet...one of the few since we all arrived. And guess what was on TV?!....Slumdog Millionaire! I haven't watched an ounce of TV since arriving so rather appropriate to watch this film while in India. What made it even more cool were the number of firecrackers being let off around the apartment complex....how very Indian.
Tonight is our last official group dinner as tomorrow evening a few of us start the trek back home. Guess what, it's Tandoori Chicken and Naan bread, everybody's favourite meal.
Namaste x
