HEY PEEPS! So today started off with a kind of early morning
with us all dragging ourselves out of bed to head off for breakfast. We visited
the local restaurant that we had eaten at for the last 3 nights. Breakfast was
quite a difficult but interesting experience as the best waiter ever Anthony
was not there, therefore making it a little harder to order our food with the
other waiters that did not speak English that well.
Back to Kirtarsh, we had a little group meeting to talk
about the last day at the project. A group of us took some of the residents to
the park across the road to kick a soccer ball around while others stayed back
for an arts and crafts session. The colouring that was done was a huge success
with many of the residents participating as well as the fellow challengers who
I think enjoyed the colouring a little more than the residents ;).
We set off to our restaurant
again hoping to see Anthony as we had prepared a Christmas card for him with a
tip from all of us. When seeing Anthony we all had the biggest smiles as it
would be the last time we would see him. Just before we left we handed him the Christmas
card he was so happy and thankful that we got him something, as he has been in
Malaysia for 5 years and this was his first present. He also mentioned that we
were his favourite team from World Challenge. We took a group photo with him
and said our goodbyes before heading back to Kirtarsh to finish our painting on
the wall. We all wrote on little cards a wish or prayer for the people at
Kirtarsh that we stuck onto the wall to complete our work.
We all performed a few songs for the people at Kirtarsh that
involved Jingle bells, Rudolph the red nose reindeer, home among the gum trees
and the swimming pool song (One of Cliffs many interesting songs).
Later that
night we all got ready to attend a 1st birthday party that we all
got invited to. When arriving at the party we didn’t know what to expect but as
we got there we were welcomed by some very nice people. Once we had finished
dinner Lucy decided to give us a weird looking red furry fruit thing that we
all tried. It was one of the weirdest things I have ever eaten and I speak for
most of us when I say it wasn’t very nice. We all headed outside to see some of
the kids from Kirtarsh dancing so we all decided to join. (Ed. It’s difficult
to get over what an amazing night we had...The atmosphere at this Hindu Ist
birthday party just went from good to remarkable. Sharing the first birthday with the residents
of Kirtarsh and the family and friends of the birthday boy was a true privilege! The gang (St. James Crew) did so well to
socialise and join in all the fun.
Apparently, Mr Mani received a call from the family to say how much the
guys/gals had entertained them....I think this was due to the wired dance moves
some of the girls were ‘knocking out’! Happy Days!!)
We all had eyes on us with our pretty amazing dance moves. It
was one of the best nights; we all had so much fun dancing and just having a
nice laugh. We all arrived back to Kirtarsh and said our goodnights and headed
off to bed to be ready for an early morning and day of travelling.
