Prison Babies Planning ( Service)

We had the first day with the children from prison last Thursday. This year, I saw many new faces, in fact, I only recognized three of them from last year out of ten children came this year.

The supervisor of Prison Babies, Ms. Skelly, has divided the group into 6 small groups since we have too many students than the children. We decided only two group to be in charge for a week and other two groups in charge for another week.
So the two group in charge this week are Hella's and mine. Hella and I met in the IT lab and tried to come up with some brilliant new plans or activities to do with them this week. We, however, had a hard time to think about it as because most of them are new that they are still a bit scared of us. Besides, we did research on several activities we can do with them, but most of them require some sorts of communication and we don't speak Singhala that we can't really explain it well, they look unreasonable to do with them.

We can still do paint with them. Watching a movie will be good as well (but still we need to find something doesn't need language.) As I have involved in this project for last two years, I found that the children like the physical outdoor activities more than anything else. So we better plan at least one indoor activity for first 10-20minutes and one outdoor activity for another 10-20 minutes.

From last two years, I found that we always do the same activities every week that I found it boring a bit. Children seemed enjoying them, but I want to do something new with them.
I don't know what to do yet but I'll think of more activities we can do with them for Thursday.
