Hi again! It was an early start for us all this morning. Up and ready to go by 8am, then time for breakfast. There was again a wide variety of food for breakfast, however most of us stuck to pancakes and chocolate sauce! the bell went on the gates... the transport had arrived! There was an upheave as we all charged to get a seat on the open top Range Rover! We all got comfortable and off we went to disablility africa at the inclusion centre. When we arrived, we were greeted by all of the staff at the centre. Unfortunately none of the service users were here today as they don't come on a Friday. The staff showed us around the centre, then we all took our seats. The staff at the centre welcomed us and we introduced our selves. Then we showed them the video that we had made of live and the things we do. They talked about there centre too. It really hit home to see how similar live and disability Africa are but how the 2 cultures vary so much. We are going back there on Sunday and they will be showing us a drama piece that they have created. We got back on the transport and headed back to the gunjur project. It was time to have some lunch, relax and have a dip in the pool. At 4pm we headed to A local market in the town near by (well 45 minutes away... again!). This was eventful to say the least. The market was very busy... it was difficult to keep up with the hussle and bussle of the market. So much so we managed to loose debi and some other members of the team! We waited for them and eventually they appeared! We carried on walking and finally reached the one part of the market everyone was antisipating.... the fabric shop!! we went in and it was packed with stacks of wonderful, colourful fabrics! We all bought the amounts we wanted and headed back to the trucks. On the way back, the group that were on the truck had a sing song on the way home! I'm sure all of the people we passed thought we were mad!! We waved to passers by on the way home... however, when Rick bellowed hello everyone got a shock! The tailor was waiting for us when we got back to the project. We all raced wth the fabrics we had just bought to be measured for tops, trousers, gowns, dresses... anything we wanted!
Once we finished tea, it was time to sit by the campfire and have a chill (or a game of darts, which the boys preferred).
