day 30

On the way to school there was a car accident where a car had tried to overtake a tractor, which resulted in bits of the side of teh car falling off. To make an insurance claim, they needde to call the police, which in India could mean they come whenever they feel like it, and as a result of this we were a bit late for work.At school we taught the lower case alphabety and I did some maths with Vishal and Vinita. In the afternoon we did a practice for sports day, wher the lower years are separated into 2 teams and race against each other. The 2 teams and tigers and sharks original, i know). Its made up of about 6/7 normal sports day games, but has a lemon and spoon instead of egg and spoon race. When Manu (our project executive) gave them the spoons and a stone to practice with, they all put the spoons handle side first into their mouth and started running, so I started shouting for them to stop, because running with something in your mouth on an uneven and slippy floor does result in injury/death. We also found out that Tommy the dog had died :-( apparently some sort of bleeding to death. The cleaner of the school is albino, and everyone apparently in the town believes she is that way not for genetic reasons, but because she aet chicken and milk at the same time. I thuoght this was really funny. Even Manu believes its true as well. Its crazy how people in the 20th century still can believe such things! After school we made some medals for the sports day and I went to town and got my glasses, Im rather pleased with them!
