Well I've been back 12 days and life has been very busy. The children have already done two excellent programmes. Last week they did a farewell programme for the Girls and Boys Brigade party from Nutthall, Nottingham who had helped with building the eye hospital in the mornings and doing activities with the centre in the afternooon.
Here they are all saying what the trip has meant to them.
The 25 of the children played as a string orchestra 'My heart will go on' from Titanic and there wee tears in their eyes. They played very well. They danced and sang and said poems and Archana Dey was MC.
And here they are about to leave with Bijoy who was driving them to the airport. Many tears flowed on all sides.
This week was Teachers Day so they did another programme. The children put it together themselves and wrote the script and prayers and I just oversaw the practices.
Saraswati on the left who danced and Jamuna and Sumita who did the welcome ceremony all dressed in saris.
Priyanka (violin) and Anita (viola) playing a duet of 'I just can't wait to be king' from the Lion King and Sanjay acting as page turner. Unfortunately he was unable to play as he injured his wrist and I have made him wait for it to heal. He did sing a duet with Anita.

The little ones also took part
They are all building confidence in taking part in these programmes, also day children not just the hostel children.
After the closing song Rita Dutta spoke and thanked them and said how much they have grown and developed to put on a show and to perform with the confidence they now do compared to the children they were when she first took them into the centre.
This is the dance teacher and the children that took their dance exam when I was here in April with their certificates, they all passed First Class.
