Hi all, can’t believe its the end of January, time is really flying by!
Theres been a bit of a change around with the projects that I’m doing, hopefully for the better.
I’m now at school Monday to Thursday, with Hannah helping me teach my class, which has been really good.
Two afternoons a week I now spend at another school just outside Kolkata where I help out with guitar lessons. The kids there are a bit older, secondary school age and so i also help with their “Spoken English”, which basically means just chatting to them!
We’re also going to spend one evening a week at Little Sisters of the Poor, an old peoples home where we help serve dinner.
On Wednesdays both teams visit a girls hostel down the road where we have lots of fun and play and talk with the girls there.
Freeset only need us one day a week now as theyre having an influx of teams of volunteers from New Zealand, so I just go there on fridays. Recently we’ve been helping to sort out tshirt orders, making sure they are all tagged correctly.
Some of the children from our school have been picked to go to the GNCEM hostels, which we’re very happy about, they’ll be getting a safe place to live and a more structured education, but I’m going to miss some of my little friends!
We have the opportunity to sponsor those children and I’m hoping to do that, it would be a lovely way to support them even after we’ve gone home.
This means we’ll be getting a load of new children at school during February, so pray they’ll settle in well.
Thank you all for your prayers,
Lots of Love, Rebecca xx
