The end of the third term

Our workshop went on continuously. After finishing the camera exercises and the group finding each teams (Team Wonderstarts, Team Seastar, Team Victorious und Team Morning Star Multimedia) started to shoot the planed movie. So the Kids shoot all the scenes on their own, only with small advices from us. Three days of shooting later, we stated with the editing of the material. This was Lois and my turn, bud we were in close communication with the kids.

Meanwhile we were planning on a excursion for the following Saturday. O the following Saturday we went with the sixty kids and a lot of drumming and singing to the Kakuum National Park. After we arrived the kids had to stand in two rows, to count them. Then we went to the inside of the Forest. After 200 meter of rapid steps we reached wooden stair. Through this and a small timber we reached the first of seven suspension bridges with a total length of 300 meter and a height of max. 40 meters. Most of the kids were not afraid of the height bud some were really scared. After roundabout 30 minutes all of the kids reached the exit timber. So we walked through the forest back to the entrance area. The hunger was coming so everybody ate his brought lunch pack. We were sitting in the grass and on the benches for another half an hour. Then the bus set off back with the destination Komenda. On the way back the kids played again on the organized drums and we sang a lot of songs. We gave a Fan-yogurt and a Meatpie t them as a small snack. The first stop was Ataabadwe, the 40 kids from the Essaman M/A united left the bus to go home.When we passed Ayensudo the rest of the kid’s didn’t wanted to get out, because they really enjoyed the Atmosphere. They drove on for another two station, and then they left the bus. We drove on to Komenda and got out. Walked back to the house and i was so tired i fall asleep directly. In the evening we had a small meeting with Francis, our mentor, who did the most of the organisation of the event.

On Wednesday we had the presentation in the Ayensudo School. We, Tim, Lois and me went out at 7:30, because we would also have a small meeting with Solomon before. After this we started preparing everything for the presentation. Set the chairs, darken the windows, and build the electronic and so on. Around eleven it started, Lois and Tim showed the material of the three term. They also showed some pictures and videos of the excursion. Later we hand over a participation conformation and a group picture to them.

On Thursday we had the last discussion about the presentation in Ataabadwe. After this everything was fixed. Friday we also left the house very early, to have enough time for preparation. When we reached the school it turned out it is light out. So we could only hope that the energy would come back before the presentation starts. But this was not the case. So we had to find a solution, we had to improve. So put a Laptop and small boxes on two desks and started the presentation. As in Ayensudo, we showed all the results of the groups. Lois presented the Dolly he built with his group. Later we hand over the participation confirmation and the group picture to the kids. And then we had to say goodbye. After the long time we enjoyed with them it wasn’t so easy, it took time.

All in all the presentation was a big success despite the light out and all.
