Today was pretty an awesome day! Everyone really enjoyed themselves. We had to do something for the local community called the CARE project which was largely organised by one of the locals, Charlotte, and the rest of the Class Afloat team on board the Concordia.
We started off with a really early morning...breakfast was at 6.45!! No one looked particularly awake, especially the teachers! J then we departed the port we are at to have a tour of the local township called Mondesa, which everyone found very interesting, we even got taught a bit of the Nama language, which in a word is HARD! After our tour and making great friends at one of the pre schools (especially Monde and his little brother!) we were driven to begin with the actual project.
Three groups assembled for gardening, cooking and games. The cooking group worked all day long in the kitchen with 19/20 yr olds, while the gardening and game groups went to a primary school. Now, the games group had it easy, all they had to do was play with the kids all day long, while the gardeners had to dig a hole, 6×6m, fun stuff! Eventually, at about 5pm, all of us met up again and showed off what we had accomplished, including some great looking and tasty food, an awesome greenhouse and some really happy, exhausted children!!
Finally we left to go back to the ship... dirty, tired and hungry. But after speaking to everyone, everyone had great time and taken away some amazing memories (and Kate even got a picture of her new friend!)All in all, a hugely successful and fun day!!
