The next 3 trips to the orphanage to teach english was made by Ben , Shakina , Acha and I.
4 international volunteers and 2 russian translators.The hard work eventually paid off and we 4 volunteers had a great time with the kids.
We gathered a group of girls from the orphanage and the Indonesian girls taught them Balinese Dance
The headmistress selected some children to learn english as well.
And this is apparently what she screamed to the children ,
"Where are the 10 most intelligent and normal boys.They will learn english at 2pm"
What a way.,...to select...
For the first lesson, we taught them simple phrases
hello
how are you?
I am good.
I was teaching 2 kids , Yegor and Kyril.Their enthusiasm for learning was extremely encouraging!
It was then we realized that these kids learn really fast!Some of them had learnt some english words in school or from previous volunteers.
Guess what?
We didn't bribe them with any sweets and they didn't ask for any.They were very well behaved children who exceed my expectations.
Before we left , we went to say goodbye to the rest of the kids in the orphanage.They came running to us , hugging us ,touching us and asking when we were coming back.It feels really nice that they appreciate our company ,attention and the things that we teach them.
On the very sad side , our russian translators who are the organizers of the project were not very fond of children and was rather unwilling to join us and say goodbye.Interacting with the orphans was something new to them.

We showed them 3 different cartoon movies on our laptops to entertain the kids.The purpose was to let them listen to English audio and read the russian subtitles , but eventually , the kids chose the russian audio instead.
