Hi,

It's a couple of days before I'm about to leave and I'm quite nervous. It's funny how your home seems more comfortable when you're just about to leave it!

Bye For Now

Tom

School Annual Day

Tom Monaghan: Gap Year Images I had great experience the other weekend. The school had it's annual day, where all the parents, students and teachers were invited to an award-giving ceremony and then the students put on a show. Awards were not just for good kids but also for good teachers and good parents. When the two teachers went up to receive their awards one of them cried and said "when the kids feel pain I feel pain", which was very touching. Parikrma is a really inspiring charity.

The student show was a 'round the world' series of sketches. Classes in each school had to act out different countries around the world. Antarctica, for example, was played by one of the classes at my school in Koramangala. They all dressed up in penguin suits and did a synchronised dance. As you can expect, it was hilarious. My favourite sketch was the USA one because I helped the two 'celebrity hosts' at the front with their American accent and performance. On the night there were a few technical problems and it was a little chaotic, but that didn't matter. The kids had a really good time and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
