Good evening parents and families!

Today, we volunteered to write the blog post about our activities for day 3. With a sudden weather change, the rain bought a cooler day for us to work in.

Today, the building and teaching teams swapped roles, so now everyone has had a go at everything. Another task given to the building team was sanding down and painting the wooden shutters and doors. In the cold breeze, they worked their arms and made the doors look brand new.

The mural, needing only a few minor touch ups before being presented tomorrow, is nearly finished and brings so much colour to the room.

In only 2 days, we have accomplished so much as a team. Listening to music and enjoying each others company bought a lot of joy. Some of the main hits played in the room were mamma mia and frozen with many songs played by Liam on the Piano.

Although these tasks have been challenging, and many of us are very tired, the rewarding feeling of knowing the happiness it will bring to these students outweighs the tiredness.

For lunch, we were treated to another local Vietnamese meal of chicken, rice and spinach, which we ate on tables made for kindy kids to sit at. During painting, the school gifted us with what they called sludge cake (shrimp cake wrapped in leaves) which was only tried by a few students. Later, some of us explored the streets, some got head massages and many of us just chilled at the hotel. Dinner tonight was at DMZ bar and restaurant, where we enjoyed a variety of meals and bonded over soft drinks, mocktails and smoothies.

We are off to bed now as we need rest before another fun filled eventful day tomorrow!
