Friday 29th May

This worning I was in a meeting about the school links that Vision Rescue has. Some of the teachers go into some of the local schools and and do class assemblies with groups of children. They needed to talk through some of the topics of the assemblies and come up with activity ideas. The link with the school is also important when it comes getting the children who they have been teaching in the buses into the schools. Over the last four years, over 100 children have been able to go to school due to the work Vision Rescue has been doing on the buses.
In the afternoon I ran another teacher training session on Brain gym and mental starters. I feel that the teachers really need activities to start off the teaching as the children come onto the bus so I ran them through some ideas for maths and English. Again it is hard with limited resources but there are things that can be made and bought.
In the evening, I went to see Biju in hospital and have a meeting with him. He is having his back work on after slipping a disc. He wanted to introduce me to two new memebers of the Vision Rescue team and talk to me about their roles in the organisiation. Louisa is going to be coming on board as a teacher and also as a counsellor and Ajish will be coming in as a CEO of Vision Rescue. He has experience in strategic planning for World Vision. It is good to see how Biju is extending the staff at Vision Rescue to allow for expansion.
