Day 6

We left the snow land hotel soon after breakfast to be driven to the Bal Ashram hostel which provides children with shelter and education.  At the start we were taken into a large room where we were introduced to the children that lived in the hostel.  We showed the children our photo books explaining our lives in Yorkshire.  Whilst some talked animatedly other found it harder than the rest. Once that was finished we started arts and crafts courses with the children and drawing everything from hand prints to maps. 
Outside was the area for games and we were split into teams with mixtures of scouts and the children.  Several were based around a slalom course whilst others were trying to throw a folded plane furthest.  Soon after we gathered into groups and helped tidy the rubbish that had collected in the rough running by the school.  Coming back to the hotel we started to pack ready for the trek.  Leaving the bags in our room we walked to a restaurant called “Chopsticks” that specialized in noodle dishes.  The second course were dumpling – like packages called Momos.  We arrived back late and as a result were late to bed.
