Friendships Made in Hungary

Whilst being in Hungary I made some good friends, not only within the Wet Foot team itself, but also with some of the Hungarians.

And one of these friends was Anna, who although she did not speak much English and I did not speak much Hungarian - we bonded and became friends - though some people might not have known as we play fough with each other as the bottom picture reveals!

Thursday English Cafe

The English Cafe was a different story for me than the afternoon was - I found it quite challenging, but that it always a good thing.

The night started off well, we played pictionary and Jenga on my table and then Dave did a really good talk based on board games and luck games e.g lottery etc.

However, the discussion group was hard for me as my group spoke Hungarian most of the time, and as I don't speak much of this, I was not really able to take part. I did try and get the conversation back to English, but no one seemed confident enough to talk in English so they went back to Hungarian.

I came away feeling a bit low from it, which was hard as I was on such a high this afternoon. I did learn from it though - I learnt that a person in my life is actually quite wise, and leading small groups discussins can actually be quite difficult - though this was a different story because it covered a language barrier.

Thursday Kids Camp Photos

Here are some photos of the fun of Thursday. First of all we have the welcoming, where Pinoki did such a great job and Ruth with her great skills of leading music.


As you can see the kids were really enjoying the music, especially the ones which has actions with them.

We did a drama for them today - The Hands Drama, which starred Nick Grindle, Tim Holloway, Jamiey, Zsuzsi and myself. Never thought I would ever get up at the front and do drama - but I did and I really enjoyed it.

Thursday- Day Four

As we had a busy day of preparations ahead of us, we had devotions at 7.30am - not nice getting up so early, but it has to be done, and I suppose I get up at this time everyday in order to go to work.

After devotions we had breakfast and preparation starts at 9.30am. We had to decide first of all who was doing what both on Thursday and Friday at Kids camp, English Cafe and at the Gypsy Camp also.

I was down for sport today and craft on Friday. Sport today was great fun. It was so hot, nearing 40 degrees, so we decided to use water balloons in our games.

We played a game where you had two groups - they both held sheets and the aim of the game was for one group to throw the water balloon and the other group to catch it without dropping it, otherwise the other group would get a point. However, not many of the balloons ended up on the sheet, most of them landed on the ground. The kids really seemed to love it.

We played different games with the various age groups all involving water balloons - some of them jumped when one dropped as they did not want to get wet, but some really wanted to get wet.

When it came to the last group, we were all so hot, that when we used all the water balloons up, we just filled up the buckets with water and threw them over each other - I felt like such a child again, but it was great - working with children is fun.

Zsuzsi and I were do drenched afterwards, we had to leave before the closing of the afternoon, so that we could dry as we walked - don't think Istan would have liked us soaking wet in his van!

This afternoon was so fun, I really enjoyed i. And it was clear to see here started to like us being there and a rapport has been but with each other- pity the camp was ending tomorrow. But they will also be with me in my memories and on my photos.
