Today many of the kids were at school because they had an extra day off a week or so
ago. However a healthy and manageable number turned up. A couple of us (the
volunteers) made Mothers Day cards using coloured card, paper and felt tip pens. We
also helped some of the older boys to improve their reading English skills by asking
them to read aloud to us and then correcting their mistakes. I feel exhausted after
spending most of the morning playing football with the boys (or ‘shabab’ in Arabic!). It
was hard to make sure everyone was included because some people are goal
hoggers! You can’t blame them though, all of the boys playing either supports Real
Madrid or Barcelona. So naturally they see themselves as their favourite strikers,
either Messi or Christiano, Ronaldo depending on your politics!
In the afternoon we played chess and did some English conversation with a couple of
the older boys. Most of the young ones went home so the 3 that were left played
games on the computer.
The weather was also nice and hot. Palestinian weather is truly unpredictable. Only
last week there was snowfall in Abu Dis and the snow even settled in Jerusalem!
