Heyy guys!
Tonight has been amazing! After a day consisting of a lie in, breakfast in bed, and pampering ourselves a little (we felt clean for the first time since we got here!!) we headed to Pratham Boys Shelter for an evening of games and drawing with the boys! They are absolutely adorable, completely cheeky and they loved having us there! We didnt have anyone there to translate for us tonight but luckily one of the boys spoke really good English- although he didnt think it was very good! His name was Mosin, he was 15 and he took complete control of translation (and of Lisa's camera!)! A lot of the boys could speak enough English to get by with a conversation with us about basic things like hobbies, food etc! They love dancing and singing and drawing! When we first arrived they took us up to their recording room- they have sound recording equipment and a laptop so they can make their own songs and add videos to them! They showed us a few that they had made- they were really good!! Then we headed downstairs and had a room each- Claire did some art stuff with half of the kids- colouring in some pictures for us to stick on the windows, drawing pictures etc and Lisa played snakes and ladders and ludo with the rest of the boys! Then we swapped! The boys were also racing around the shelter with the big beach ball we had taken so it was a bit manic! They are all so lovely and they gave us lots of friendship bands which they tied around our wrists as it is world friendship week this week! The boys are all talented in their own way- there are dancers and singers sportsmen and artists...claire even found a fellow fashionista!! When we were leaving they were watching who wants to be a millionaire!! Lisa thought it was slum dog millionaire at first because it sounded exactly the same!! We're not sure what our plans are for tomorrow yet but we cant wait to go back to the boys shelter as we've fallen in love with them all :-)!!
Missing you all,
love Lisa and Claire
