Had a really tiring day today. Accompanied the school's Leo Club, together with the Lions Club, to take some orphans on a trip to several farms - orchid farm, fish farm, fruit farm, deer farm. Hot day and swollen tongue didn't help. Fortunately had Lydia to accompany me otherwise I'd be going out of my mind.
Students did a fantastic job, especially the Leo club president Lianne who had organised this (with the help of the Lions Club) and put her heart and soul into the project. Many (although not all) students took care of the orphans instead of wandering off to do what they liked.
Can't say exactly the same for the Lions Club. Oh, some of them were really good and really nice. But there's one particular person (I shall not name for politically correct reasons) who busied herself with a book or sat in the shade while the other Lions Club people ran around and made efforts to get to know the students. The event management company was also very good, involving themselves in the activities - there was one photographer who went around taking shots of people, and said silly things to make them smile. All in all everything went smoothly.
Also can't say that I was all that great. I didn't play much with the orphans or mix around with the other adults. I tend to leave everything to the students because they were doing such a great job. However I did amuse everyone at the end with a new-found ability to sing in a bleating voice after we saw sheep at the deer farm. Haha!
Will upload some pics once I've found some nice ones. The ones in my camera aren't all that great - there are some others in Lydia's camera, and also some with the event management company which I hope they will send to us.
Here's the link to download the audiofile if you should care to listen to the bleating voice repertoire. No, there's nothing wrong with the recording. What you hear is what I sang. Hehe.
