Teaching English

Tonight was our last English lesson with the kids from the home of affection before they go home for Tet to visit their families.
We also found out it was the birthday of one of the young boys.

So, we have a half length lesson, took 2 cakes along and also a bag of sports equipment, puzzles and English kids books we had decided to donate to them after discovering that while they did have lots of books..... their toys were 2 tennis balls and that's all!
Last time we took some puzzles just for the night, the kids loved them so much that even the teenagers were happy doing puzzles designed for 3 year olds!

We gave the kids 4 badminton rackets (not the crap plastic ones that had been used once before and immediately broke!) a soccer ball, lots of books, skipping ropes and puzzles. These gifts came with a discussion about looking after them and not leaving them out in the rain! They were so excited to get new games and their own soccer ball.





The lure of cake and candles meant most of the toy exploring was delayed.



Somehow the cake turned into a food fight. Which was hilarious fun! and awesome to watch the kids just loving running around and chasing us, chasing each other.
