Homework with the children and Yakini

On our second day we decided to have a lie in with us having very little sleep the day before. Once we got up with had black tea and sweet bread for breakfast, the bread is made fresh at the house. We then went up to the center around half ten, which was just in time for their tea time, which would be the equivalent of break time back home in the UK. We got to spend some time with the children before they headed back to their lessons, which we sat in on, seeing the teaching styles was an eye opener it is very different to the schooling in England, there is very little activity from the children and not much involvement, they mainly get taught at. At the center there are about 45 orphaned children who are taught during the day with day students from the local village who attend the school.

Then we went to visit the main school Yakini which also has Living Water children that board as well as paying students but mainly it's a private school for children in the area, it schools over 500 children. We were then showed the town of Arusha which was interesting we were able to change our money too, we came back to the house to write down information we have learnt and then the power cut out for three hours which was an experience in its self, we had to eat in the dark which was interesting it also meant no internet for three hours which was not fun when I want to inform family of everything. It was amazing to see how the women who cooked our food the 'dadas' just carried on with everything, they are so used to it as it happens very often apparently.
