Room 1. One suitcase. Three people.

Having 15 suitcases delayed, day one was... interesting. However, breakfast set us up in good spirits for the rest of the day, serving us all a mixture of foods varying from cereal to a full English. 

We arrived at the school at around 9am, driving in to a school of children looking out of the classroom windows frantically waving to welcome was us was amazing. As soon as we got off of the bus, we were instantly welcomed by the staff of Greater Joy (trying to learn the communities handshake at first was funny). We had a tour of the site and learnt about the history of the school from Angelina, and then begun our work. 

We were split off into our working groups, completing activities from: 

- Painting on a blackboard

- Pick axing 

- Serving lunch to the whole school

- Painting other walls 

- And of course playing and dancing with the kids

Overall, the kids' English is impressive, however Sophie T had a bit of a problem trying to keep the kids away from the wet paint on the wall, resulting in Sophie considering Google Translating "please step away from the paint" to show to the kids in Bemba. 

Our first experience was fun, interactive and enlightening. 

We are looking forward to tomorrow.
