At morning assembly certificates from Dundalk Institute of Technology were conferred on 7 of the 9 successful students of Providence who had attained the required standard in English, Home Science, Computers, Confectionery, Beauty Care and Screen Printing.
This Irish qualification had been organised by Marie and Claire.
Visited some of the homes in Nongmynsong
after class. Walked there with the children (1 hour) over very hilly and
difficult terrain. Split into 2 groups and each visited 5 or 6 homes. Each house
was a jolt to our normal sense of
basic comfort. We were welcomed,
always made sit down and had a short chat with
the mother and other
children. An honour to be asked into their homes and the
visits only increased our admiration for the kids. With darkness falling
quickly and a long journey home, we took a taxi back to Providence. It still
took a long while – Rs100 (Euro 1.50 for the 5 of us.
All back in Providence at 5.45 that evening and in an organised way,
we shared
our experiences and insights of the day. Brought journals up to date
and
wrote up lesson plans for
tomorrow. This is our usual routine from 5.30
till dinner – sharing, journal,
lesson plans and reflection. Dinner at 7.30
and a chance to chill out, but
always head on the pillow by 10. This is
when the next day
begins.
