Prison Babies: Going to the Prison.

Prison Babies.

Today we went to the prison near Borella. The whole purpose for us going to the prison was to see that how the children were living over there and to go to a new environment and make the children happy by going to where they live. I didnt really expect the trip to be that much fun, infact, i enjoyed it a lot.

The first thing we saw when we entered in the children's teaching/playground section was that there were little girls performing sri lankan dance. We then went to the their classroom and gave them pages and colors so that they can draw. Unfortunately, the little kids had to do draw again this time. Later on, when we saw that the kids were getting bored, we took them out of the classroom to their playground and played with the kids. It was fun playing with them. We had small rides and i am sure that the kids were enjoying as i hardly saw anyone of them cry. We had some familiar faces which really helped us as the children were now used to us and opened up a lot in front of us. I now know only two names of the kids: Kashidu and Harshini. Due to the lack of knowing Singhalese, it was hard for us to understand what they were saying, but we had some sri lankan students with us like Upandha who told us what the kids wanted which REALLY helped us. I have a fealing that i was playing and acting properly in front of the kids and really wanted to continue playing with them. Overall it was a nice experience, the bad thing was that we werent allowed to take in cameras so i couldnt take photos :( though next time, they are coming in school and will take photos then.

Looking forward to the plannings for the next lesson. I being one of the leaders of my group have to think of stuff we can do with the kids and the students in my group have thought of lots of ideas, we will surely put them into action.
