Hope for kids-Very first day at the hospital!!

The playroom is not as gloomy as I thought it would be: it’s actually quite bright and has an extremely ‘playful’ atmosphere! Hardly any of the kids came down from the wards on the first day and the few who did just read a few books but didn’t really interact with us much. The main objective was to look around in order to familiarise ourselves with the surrounding and try to come with anything extra we can do to iimprove the quality of the room. A few we thought of were:
•Buying cloth for curtains and getting the kids to finger paint on them- that’d be a fun activity!
•Bringing in some Sinhala/Tamil children’s songs to play while the kids work on their crafts.
•Organise the stray DVD’s and books- they’re everywhere!!
Not even the 30 minute van ride back to school was wasted! We planned the bakesale and decided what kind of food we will be selling (brownies!ice cream!). Since we wanted our own labour to go into the production, we decided to bake the products ourselves (hope mine will be edible!).
