Day 6 - Thursday 6th December


We achieved a first today – Emma left the hotel without wearing a single item of Land Rover clothing. It took a while for her to come to a point of being really at peace about this. Sadly we had just managed to calm her when a Land Rover Discovery went past. This was the first she had seen since leaving the UK and it unsettled her all over again with highly excitable cries of “Look a disco!”

We spent the morning decorating. During the afternoon 13 if the children from the “village” came to the church's building and Rochelle, Emma and Becci spent a happy, and noisy, hour and a half teaching them basic English skills. The jolly phonics alphabet was much in evidence and a source of much amusement to the children.
