My last report for the term is coming from our Bali tour. Myself, Bu Devathas, 20 students and one of our school parents left for Denpasar on Monday night.
We are currently in Kuta and have today come back after a visit to one of the local high schools where we had a tour of their programs by the students. Luckily for us, it was a vocational college that prepares students for careers in Hospitality, Beauty, Laundry, Cooking and IT so we were treated to some culinary delights and saw several classes in action.
So far, we have enjoyed some great experiences including a dinner on the beach tonight where we were treated to a serenade by some local musicians and then our students got to treat everyone to a performance of the Nutbush. We have also visited a chocolate factory, rice fields, a mosque, and a local market place which was a bit of a confronting experience, but I have to say, many of the students rose to the occasion demonstrating exceptional negotiating and bargaining skills.
Hope to share this whole experience with you all when we get back home!
Kind regards,
Kerryn Sandford
