6/22/2011

Our first p.e. session isn’t until 11:30 on Wednesday, so we got to sleep in a little bit and then go to the office to use the internet before heading to the worksite. We were both so tired and worn out from our Zambian night out, but we managed to get through the session without any problems. The topic was critical thinking and problem solving. We started out with some fun warm-up games and then split the students into group to do the human knot. It’s an activity where the kids form a circle and hold the hands of people across from them in the circle until they’ve formed a complicate knot. Then, they have to untangle the knot and reform the circle without breaking their hands. It’s a good teamwork and communication activity that Sarah and I have both used in the States. It went well and we both led group discussions at the end.
Our HIV sessions at Tionge Community School won’t start until the 29th, so we had the afternoon free to hang out with everyone at the office. It was a little lonely cooking dinner with just the three of us now that the boys are gone, but Sarah and I made hot chocolate and read our books to cheer us up. We went to bed early to catch up on sleep!
