SriLanka-- BIH

Well next we went to BIH--Boys Industrial Home for the next 7 days, where our main objective i felt was to clean scrape, cement, plaster and paint the 2 dormitories and the dining hall. Will post pics up soon!! hahah when i get them!=) well the walls and rooms were really in terrible condition and i rem amy saying we sweep sweep sweep it's still as dusty and that was how demoralising.. but well we managed to clean everything and give the walls an even coat of paint.. and well the change was just miraculous..

Manual work is not easy i realised coz u do the same thing over and over again.. we scraped the same stupid walls for how many hours each day but thank goodness there was music hahahha and we had our 2 classic songs: so sick and the shakira song hahahha so funny la i rem.. heh i dl both songs!! hahhaha

Well at the end of each day we would play with the kids.. frisbee or soccer etc. in their big field.. haha the kids here were actually quite nice too just that we did not get to interact with them as much.. but they would always come while we were painting to help us paint or scrape etc heh
oh and on the first day this naughty boi called sudesh started calling me red shirt fiona hahahha and nw the whole alchemy team calls me tt sho retardeD! hahahah and he did it with tt funny roll tongue thingy which i can't do for nuts!

Well on the last day they put up a performance for us.. and it was super duper funny coz we were saying maybe they would put up the same performance as that at SFH and they did!! hahahha but the performance all in all was pretty cool.. oh and then each child actually drew a card for us where they all signed.. it was handmade, simple but so super duper sweeeeet=) heh and they gave us tea too.. oh and last but most beautifully Prabhul who gave me the card actually gave me his pendant cross when we were actually on the bus leaving!! i felt so badddd i wanted to give smth back but everything in my pouch was like wallet, coins, torchlight?!! and nothing significant=( it's like they were willing to give up so much just for mere passer-bys like us? but nonetheless it was a really sweeet gesture, we should appreciate everybody who comes along shouldn't we?=)

it was funny when i left coz i regretted not spending enough time and effort interacting with the children.. they were different from those at SFH but they were still sweet and well children at heart..and somehow we had touched them more than we knew.. i just wonder whether or not we did actually leave a larger void in them than it did before.. and not giving them the same care, concern and attention we did to the SFH boys only struck a larger chord in me..

Next stop: R&R!!! haha at tropic inn and yummilicious food!
