Russian Orphanage 2 : Games Day!

After 2 trips to the orphanage with 16 year old boys , I called Dasha , the project leader up to ask her about the situation.To my horror , she thought the kids at the orphanage were children 10-12 year old.It was then i realized that there has been a huge communication breakdown.On the 30th of June , the russian students finished their examinations and promised to find a solution to the problem.

The solution only came after i suggested the orphanage that Dasha and I visited in March ( when i was in SPB for 1 day ) .And she called the orphanage and managed to secure an agreement to hold an event on a saturday for the children to let them play some international games. ( Why didn't she call earlier????!!! )

During the trial run  ,we iron out the details and the translations for the games from Indonesia , India ,UK , Singapore and Italy .And then,we were all set to make INTERNATIONAL GAMES DAY a success.

THere were about 40 children waiting for us when we arrived.About half of them were autistic and this made the games alot more challenging for them.
But despite the difficulties , the kids really enjoyed themselves and the headmistress was keen on having us to come back and teach the children english!The 12 volunteers : 8 international and 4 russians turned made this event possible
