Meanwhile, Aaron spent his whole day in bed and had to do a stint back at camp and recover from his illness (sore throat) and after a day of rest he was back on form. He even stole a couple of towels from the showers whilst various members of the group were showering. Mr Loizou wasn't happy and suggested that he doesn't stay at base again! Furthermore Molly realised she misplaced her money in a local cafe three days earlier! This has now been replaced. Mr Brown has had two slices of toast and a banana today! Lasagne is on its way for dinner.
Sam's group, Me (Brandon), Molly, Scott and Sam, visited our second school after picking up Aaron's group and a Rolex stop-off. A Rolex is just rolled eggs (omelette, tomatoes & chipatti) we
were pretty exhausted as by then as we had already spent the day at Kiira primary. This consisted of Scott, Sam and I performing bicep curls with 3 kids on each arm which we instantly realised can break your back. Meh👎🏻. Molly also got mobbed by a load of children and was dragged all around the field by children, fascinated by her hair. Meanwhile, Sam was told he looked like a woman😄 Needless to say we were absolutely shattered by the time we got on the coach but we were all buzzing for St Nicholas junior school to see what they had in store for us talent-wise. We had a nice training session teaching the kids and it was clear to see the potential in most and the improvement of all. After we were challenged with picking our final ten-man team... that of which we are still deciding on... I decided to distract myself from the pressure of deciding on a team so I made the wonderful mistake of forming an emotional connection with two boys, Ali and James. When I found out that they couldn't participate in the tournament on Friday due to their size, I was gutted. However, I knew that I had to be the one to let them know so I did. Watching their face drop hurt but what can you do? Well I'm not too sure what to expect for the next week and a half but we have quad biking on Friday after the tournament and white water rafting in the Nile on Saturday. I've already faced some challenges and learnt so much about myself and I honestly love how independently we run these training sessions and how independently we are actually living. I've already made strong bonds with everyone here and my confidence of in talking infront of people has gone up so much and i'm actually loving this. Oh and btw, hello family, I'm still alive :P peace!
Sam, Scott and Brandon
