Sunday

Today we all ventured in to 'Congo Town', one of the busiest and poorest communities we have ever been to. The local children ran to us immediately and shouted 'photo me, photo me' as soon as they spotted our cameras! There was lots of music coming from all corners, people were hanging about chatting, laughing, singing and dancing. Some people were busy working on market stalls and in small shops, even though yesterday was Sunday!

Yesterday evening, Miss Brooks and I were on 'cooking duty', which meant we had to cook for 16 people - all the Cathedral School students! We made rice and vegetables which went down a treat... I have learnt though that Miss Brooks' Maths might not be as good as I thought as we ended up with enough rice for 32 people!! So It's rice on the menu again tomorrow night!!

After our busy morning, we returned to our accommodation to relax and get ready for the busy week ahead! Tomorrow we are going to see Mrs Lewis and Ms Alpha at St Joseph's school. We cannot wait to see them and meet all the children!
