Last Friday's Community Day

Fri noon we headed out to EÇEV (Ege Çağdaş Eğitim Vakfı) which is a school for under privileged children up in the hilly region of Izmir. We met some most beautiful and smart children.

We shared some pictures from our own countries and got them to guess where each one of us was from. To my shock I got as far as my first slide "Vegemite" and one little bloke said Australia. I planned to show the Harbour Bridge , the Opera House and lot more but the kid was way too smart and not only did he guess  Australia but every other country just about. So of course he got the most gifts..

After introductions and motivational speeches ,  we taught them some team building activities, tricks and and finally Antonio and Iliana (Mexican team) had the teachers and children Salsa dancing . To see the children's smiles , passion for life and learning new things was very rewarding and we all walked away feeling great.
