It was a Restless night as Sarah has a compound sickness from yesterday mixed with a stomach problem. A few hours later, Amira arrived home at around 5:30am and there is something wrong with the door. Sarah wakes me to find out what the banging at the door is about as she still feels sick and not up to it. It's Amira and one of her dogs but the door was stuck.

After a minute a girl walked in and Sarah offered to teach her. It was only after one game we moved onto the other table and making bracelets. ...

Just another day in the life of volunteer travellers Ahhhh, we have Spanish lesions at night today and not in the morning so we got to have a sleep in for an hour. When we got to school, the morning started with a huge bag of broad beans needing to be 'top and tailed.' By popular demand we played more snakes and ladders, this time big numbers only.
