As the holidays have drawn to a conclusion, we thought what would be the best way to culminate the MIALE April afterschool program. Few ideas came forth but a trip to the arboretum would put ice on the cake. The last day of the month was the day we went to this recreation park. It has very good scenery for anybody who appreciates nature. It has grounds that enabled us to have different activities.
The older kids who are in high school took this time to bond more with each other as they took nature walks. Some even had saunter. The trees and the cool breeze was the best place they would have done these as they had been used to housed places.
For the slightly younger ones, a game of football for the boys was in hand while the ladies would enjoy a bit of “kati” (A game where 2 people on either end throw a ball to a crowd in between them, the crowd is supposed to make sure they don’t get hit by the ball. The last person to be left in the centre wins the game)
Sumerian Staff was in hand to enjoy with the kids as well.
Was a great way to end the holidays for the kids and I know they can’t wait for the August after school program offered to them via MIALE.
Breaking sweat was the order of the day for the staff that was at hand to be with the children.
