Today we went to Bothasig to do the Easter activities Azille had planned for them. Colouring, painting and games just like the other day. These kids were slightly older and not as well behaved which was a shame. My first group I managed to make 1 boy cry by asking him to do a bunny hop. I asked the group if they knew how to do a bunny hop he said he did, I asked him to show the group, he then got upset. We then moved onto some ball games including a under/over type game. Second group played handball and the third played dodgeball. Joe then decided to send everyone out and we had a giant game of dodgeball. Some of the seniors came out to complain, they were worried their cars and property would get damaged. These kids were having fun in an organised activity and wasn't causing any problems to anyone, it's a shame the seniors found a negative in such a positive situation. It's the same anywhere if the elderly encourage the young 1s then the kids will respect the seniors, if the seniors complain and moan then the kids are going to act up. Bit of a shame really.
After we handed out some sweets and chocolate and headed back. Joe said that was us done for the day and all we had left to do was go into town and pay for the Ruyterwacht girls kit. Which was on our way. We were planning on going out but to be honest I've felt rough all day, don't know what's wrong but been feeling quite ill, hopefully it'll just pass. Food, bath and a nap helped but still didn't feel right so we stayed in. It's a shame as we had a lot of free time. Late start tomorrow, same again but at Drommedaris. We finish tomorrow with Drommedaris girls team, Adnan and his 2 teams are coming to see us and say goodbye, it's a nice to think they appreciated us that much that they want to come and say goodbye. Definitely 1 of our favourite teams to coach.
