a lot of people- day 9

Mr. B:
Today we awoke later! Yay!
After a delayed bus pickup we were off to visit 3 KF students at one of their homes.
We observed their community service project, which is to teach English and math to local children during their term breaks. Because the KF students are in session these lessons have not yet begun but they gathered some of their previous students for a refresher lesson to demonstrate to our group the nature of their service work. It was GREAT to see students giving back to thier communty in such a thoughtful and organized fashion! We took many pics and played the hokey pokey and head, shouldres knees and toes.

I realize that some following the posts do not know what "KF" is...

the day continued...

Nan and Charlotte:

After we headed to the Super Spar (grocery store) and to Subway. When we arived at Manda Hill Mall we were a bit surprized because we do not know the grocery store well. This resulted it in being hard for Mrs. Flemma, Alex Bolhack and Bean to find everything. Every one else headed to Subway to get lunch. We all enjoyed the quick and easy meal.
Next we began our journey to the Crocodile Farm. We travled for 1/2 an hour on one of the bumpiest roads we have ever been on, especially for those of us on the back of the bus!
The first atraction we saw at the Crocodile Farm was the snakes. The Black Mamba, the most poisonous snake in the world was there, but don't worry; we are fine. Next we moved on to the crocodiles! We saw huge crocodiles and little baby ones too.
We then returned to the snake section. Some of us had the interest of holding snakes! First they gave us a little House Snake and a Camelion. Next the brought out the huge Python. Many people enjoyed holding it on their neck. Some of us were very scared but glad in the end that we held it.
The Crocodile Farm was very enjoyable.

Charlotte and Elizabeth:
we returned from the reptile adventure, with expections from the girls to play a soccer match. they dressed in cleats and uniforms, while we tried to pull together a team. mr. babcock ended up playing goalie, and rahul and neil cheered for us. unexpectaly, we won 3-1! we loved this experience.

We ate a quick dinner, and then returned to the dorms to shower. charlotte and elizabeth returned to the main building while the others rested for the students' social hour. We talked and tried to learn to shake our hips (that's their way of dancing) . However, we are still trying to even figure out how their bodies move in that way! By going to social hour, we were able to socialize with not only the girls, but also the boys. In particular, we talked to Chris for a while, a guy who had lived in Texas for a year and hopes to travel back for college next year. Here, eveyone is so open and willing to share. We are both glad we decided to go- it was both a memorable and exciting experience.

When we got back to the girl's dorms, we expected to play some board games with the girls or go to bed a little early. Luckily, the girls had a different plan for us. At around 8, all of the girls in the entire dorm got together to have a major dance party! Everyone danced and it was very exciting to see how good the other girls are at dancing. The girls stayed up and talked to us for a little after the dance party. It was a blast!
