hey all,

this will have to be a short one as i dont have much time left on the net. im still loving every second. im leaving my care and community project on monday i think but i really really dont want to. i will defo come back at the weekend to see everyone again.

im amazed at how much sign language ive picked up from spending time with the boys at the deaf school, i can manage to have a conversation about anything now (well nearly anything). today we had the chance to teach 3 yr olds how to talk. they feel the vibrations in my neck when i talk and try to copy. also when i say mmmmmmm they feel my cheek and how it vibrates, its been really interesting.

i also spent some extra time at the middle school watching how they teach their lessons. the 1st - 5th grades are in these tiny classrooms, they were very similar to stables for horses. i sat in a maths class at the deaf school too just to learn how they teach. i was comletely lost in tamil class so didnt pay much attention.

stupid me.. after buying my camera last weekend, ive been snapping away like crazy. to protect them all i was putting a lock on each photo just in case the kids didnt delete any, then all of a sudden i some how managed to format my memory card and deleted every single photo from india, i so nearly cried. that was yesterday morning. i lost so many good funny photos which can never be remade. my friends at the school have been great though, they are try8ing to remeber what photos i have of them, then repeating the actions again so i can get the photos. its a shame because i mean i had a photo of a peacock showing his tail! of the classes i was watching at school and of me tyeach spoken english!!. and as im leaving on monday i dont know wether ill have time to visit the school again etc. grrrrrrrrrr

well best go,only 4 more weeks lewft oif projects then im going to have to decide what i want to do after or were i want to go.

lots of love emilie xxxx
