We returned today from Uda walawe National Prk. It's a great place to see elephants in the wild and everyone had a great time, very relaxing after such a busy week.
Last week we spent time teaching English at the centre in Athidiya in the mornings and then went across to Battermulla in the afternoons and did it all again there. In addition, Denis Anthony , Omar and I have been painting the outside f the centre at Athidiya and also the main room at Sioll. WE have more or less finished the centre and should finish Sioll in a couple of days. All the children we have met have been just great and keen to learn a bit of English whilst having some fun along the way.
Met a neighbour from Forest Gate last week. All very Bizarre you travel 6000 miles and bump into people you would meet down the high st. Shaine's daughter and Shyla have know each other though school since they were 5. Shaine and her friend Kate came for a walk about around Athidiya and visited the school. We are grateful that they were able to take time out to do this.... you know how we love to show off the place and people.
