14th December - Day 13

Caught Red-handed

Day 2 of Kandy training!



Session Feedback



 Similarly to yesterday we ran the Rainbows session in the morning. Today we had about 24 participants: 6 Senior Guides, 5 Leaders and 13 Guides. We played lots of games and had fun making biscuits, several of the girls and leaders got into the Rainbow spirit and ended up covered in pink icing. Jo and Vicky washed up afterwards and decided to cover both Becky and Cat with the icing - we are still finding it in our hair!! The participants all made up their own games to play using only one random object.

For lunch we walked down to a local cafe and had some nice fried rice and vegetables.

We then went back to the Children's home, but were delayed in running our session as the girls had some other visitors who they had tea with and then sang songs for. We managed a short session, playing more language based games.

We went from here to Tihani's house in her car - two in the boot and 4 on the seats!. She had been with us the previous day at the children's home and had invited us home for tea. We had lots of snacks that her Mum had made us and had more juice with salt in!

We then went to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, where it is said that one of Buddha's teeth is kept. A local Guide and her mother took us around the temple and explained everything to us. There were lots of people queueing to look at the casket in which the tooth is kept. There were also lots of people there who had donated food in order to get a longer and closer look at it.
