Up at 7.30 this morning for breakfast and we left the Ashram at 8.00am and headed for the Vision Rescue office. Our first task today was to go and buy some new teaching resources for the buses. We visited the local Shopping centre to buy Vision Rescue two TVs and DVD players - one for each bus and a collection of learning DVDs, and hindi cartoons and films for the children to watch on the bus. The children love watching cartoons as they do not have the opportunity to watch any TV other than on the bus. Apparently, cartoon day attracts a few more children to the bus.
In the afternoon I visited some sporting facilities in Juhu that Vision Rescue are thinking of using for the children. Here they will be able to learn basketball and volleyball. Unfortunately, the facilities were not suitable for football and cricket so they we have to look for another option for these sports. I didn't have time to visit Juhu beach today but will be doing so in the next few days. The rest of the afternoon was spent brainstorming ideas for the new curriculum. The level that the children are at is very low so a lot of the work will be basic but more interactive. Caron has been busily putting together ideas for a short documentary on the staff which she will be staring to film tomorrow
Sorry but today has not been that exciting. Tomorrow I am back on the buses observing the teachers so will hopefully have more to report.
