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.
