We went back to the Shamalindi School to build the pond, banana circle and finish two of the garden beds. We also turned their previously-made compost. Their compost was the size of a small mountain and because they had covered it in plastic, had become anaerobic. It was absolutely rank! The kids had a ball digging it over however.
At lunch time, the kids were fed outside from a kitchen set up in a stone shed. The caretaker's wife had been cooking millie pup on an open fire all morning, which she dished out to everyone. This meal was often the only meal the children got in their day.
All the kids worked very hard and we brought them food which they loved. The school survives on funding for food from local business.
Back in the unit, I tried to give Ellen, Alex and Jellie a crash PDC, however it only lasted half an hour because Jellie felt sick. Both she and Alex have felt unwell since they arrived the poor things.
In the afternoon, we put some water plants into Ellen's new pond in order to keep them well until the morning, when we will take them out to the Shamalindi School for their pond.
Ellen cooked a lovely past for dinner, then she left to stay the night with a friend, as there is not enough room here for her now.
I had a good long chat to Alex and Jellie. They are really nice - I like them a lot. I invited them to come to Austrlia and visit.
