Today (1/2/10) group Veliya set out to start teaching at a local Village school called Kavunthra and the Sukritam orphanage. There we taught our water safety education program. Then we went over to the local Temple's pool (pond) and taught a water safety lesson and a beginner swim lesson. We then had tea and snacks with the faculty. We were covered by the local newspaper and tv channel which was very exciting! We loved teaching the children...they hung on our every word...treated us like celebrities...we loved them all!!
Then we went back to the orpanage for a cultural lunch! It all tasted so good!! We discovered that we are all not very savy eaters with our hands. Check out the pictures!! It was all so beautiful and we enjoyed playing with the children who ranged in age from 4 to 13.
Our last stop was to the beach! There was camel rides, clam catching, and the beautiful sea water to swim in! We watch a beautiful sunset and it was the perfect way to end our day!
