Day 9

 Hi to all our readers at home,

Emily and Lucia wrote a fantastic blog post to update you on Day 9, however, due to some technical (Indian wifi) difficulties, all their hard work was lost in cyberspace!

We had a great day in St George's, the Mary Rice Centre, a trip to the Diamond Plaza Mall (using various methods of transport!) and had the chance to help out at St. Mary's soup kitchen.. we promise we will provide you with an extra-detailed blog post tomorrow but for now, enjoy our photos from today! Thanks for understanding,

the India Team xoxo

    Hello everyone, a huge thank you for the wonderful blog and super photos. You have captured and shared so many of the wonderful aspects of your visit, countless special moments which you will treasure. Your candle burned brightly in the Chapel through last week and many classes had the opportunity to read your daily accounts, which they all loved.
    We are so proud of you for engaging so wholeheartedly in everything, for embracing the different aspects of your stay, and we can see the months of preparation come to fruition under the fabulous care and guidance of the HCK staff and your host schools.
    I am really looking forward to spending time with you all when you return, and hearing your stories in person. You have crammed so much into each day, and will always carry these personal encounters and experiences in your heart.
    Safe travelling home and blessings in abundance to all.
    Mrs Moiselle.

    On the eve of St. Valentine's day, love and hugs are sent in abundance to you all! I hope you are keeping well. Mid-term break has started, so a lie-in this morning was wonderful. Weather is grey but dry. Fingers crossed for cards in the post tomorrow!! Keep safe and well. C.O'B.

Day 10 and 11: And That’s a Wrap…

 Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us here in Kolkata! Love was certainly in the air today and we started the day off with gathering together, munching on Valentine-themed sweets from home, as we chatted before class. We went down to Class 2 and taught them about Saint Valentine. They were intrigued and very interested in learning, as many of them knew about the day but not about the saint himself so it provided an excellent topic of conversation. Half way through the class, we turned the focus to writing poems and designing cards, which the students made for one another. They handed them out to their friends or family, which allowed for a lovely atmosphere of gratitude and generosity. Some read their cards out and we celebrated the end of the class with some Valentine Day’s chocolate. We finished the morning with some games with the younger and older classes for break outside, where we played with bubbles and skipping ropes, saying goodbye to the younger students at 11:00.
