Ok so I thought that I better update this otherwise people would think that I have dissappered somewhere....lol  OK so after Veteran Camp back in July we headed of to Hong Kong to prepare for the Beijing camp in about 2 weeks time. We helped out at a camp where we got to meet people who we would be working with in Bejing aswell. It was a good few weeks the first camp and I found China to be really hot especially when I played football. The camp was a Christian camp and we all had a wonderful time. I was helping out on Transport and telling people how to get around Hong Kong which was a laugh cause sometimes even I got lost. Well from Hong Kong we flew to Beijing where the Big Camp was going to happen. We arrived a few days earlier so that we could get ready and get our teaching stuff ready aswell. The camp started on a monday and we had about 300 kids coming all ranging from 12-19 years old. This was a large number of kids that I had ever seen in a long time but it was really good fun. I was a group leader with another girl who was my translator aswell. We got on really well and had a few good laughs as she couldn't understand me that much... I shared a room with the 4 guys who were going to be in my life group for the 2 week period and I got on really well with them. 2 of them were from Hong Kong and the other 2 were from Mainland China. They were alot of fun and we had some funny times. There were also 5 girls in my group aswell. We all had a laugh and they all really enjoyed me been there group leader. There ages ranged from 16-19 yrs old. Well in the mornings of the camp we did games and different stations with the kids where they could go and do other things. I helped out on the Football station with 2 egyptian guys who were a laugh. I played alot of football ranging from 2-4 hrs aday so I did loose quite abit of weight aswell...yeah  . Then in the afternoons I had a class of about 25 kids which i tought a course that i did called "Heroes" this was a fun course to teach but the kids where very quite about responding but i got them to talk in the end with some persuasion ( being Coke Cola). We took the kids in the second week to The Great Wall of China which was such a brill day. It was a hard walk up to the top aswell. Also we took them to do some work at an eldery peoples home. Where they did some dances and just talking to the old people who really enjoyed it and it was such an emotional day for when u sat there with the old people who never see their children and they loved wot we did for them....It was a very emotional day then. We also did an Olympic Day for an orphange in the city and the kids came and we set it all up for them. They loved the day and it was a blast all day. For Debrief we stayed in Bejing and got to go and see all the attractions been 'Tidamin Square, Forbidden Palace places like that'. We did some shopping aswell and I really enjoyed the bartering cause i found out that I was really good at it...hehe. Anyway I came back from China and had 2 weeks Holiday out in Eastern Alberta at a friends until I came home. It was a fun time and I got to get myself a nice tan. So since I have been home I am working back at Rohan with my old job which is great, and I am helping out at my church with Sunday School in the mornings with the young kids and at my mums youth program called Dreamscheme. Thats all I got for now sorry for been late doing this |
