THE FIRST DAY

I’m really enjoying my time at the project, getting to know the children at the orphanage; they were all so lovely and wanted to spend time with me and the volunteers. It was great being able to choose to be involved in many different aspects of the project.  I think that the project is very well running, and the fact that it is a community project, not just the orphanage means that it helps support so many local children, they have also recently introduced lessons to teach the local police English, so the project continues to grow.
This first day involved cycling to the orphanage in the morning, assisting with two of the English classes: going to the 'coffee lady' for coffee and noodles before cycling on to teach the Monks in the afternoon. Later I returned to the orphanage to spend some time with the children: back to the orphanage for evening meal and then spended the evening chatting to other volunteers!
