Shangilia Diary

So, yesterday, wednesday 30th, was ISK's last trip to Shangilia this semester.
However, seeing as I did not blog about this last week, let me fill you in:

Last week, we debated for an hour on whether plastic was a good material, or a bad one. The general vote said that plastic is extremely useful in many ways, and that the main problem is the use of it: how it gets disposed of, for example.
Doing these debates is really insightful, as we get a first-class look at how Kenya's future generation reacts to such things as renewable resources, the environment and energy issues.

After the debate, we split up into our groups, and this time, because around 15 people came, I could go back to my original group, which is art.
In the class, we paired up the children and asked them to draw each other.
The results were really a lot of fun to look at, and my 2 student partners, Shubam and Cora, were pleased to see the improvements that had been made.

After this, most of us went out into the courtyard to play football, and we realized that we needed to do something about the playing area. So, when we arrived back at school, we asked Mrs Lavender if it would be possible to bring the kids over to ISK to play on our field, and we also want to have a fundraiser to buy them bottles that will last a long time, board games and art supplies.

This week was our last for the first semester, and I am pleased to say that a lot of the people who came this semester will be coming next semester as feel, and people who didn't  even come at all want to come too.
