Orientation day 1

Today was the day of orientation. In the morning we were taken to a temple where we had our induction as well as told about all the different programs that they offer. They offer a tribal programs where you go live in a home stay I the jungle and you teach the tribal kids. No one put there hand up as interested other than me. They also offer a body and mind week which is
A week of yoga on the beach with meditation and stuff. I want to do one of the 2 at the end of my trip for the last week so I need to decided! So many programs to do I wish I stayed longer! Afterwards we had a self defense class which was funny. Was no help at all if I was to be attacked but the lady was funny. We had lunch and then had a Sinhalese language lesson which was really cool. The lady language is really difficult but it's really cool to talk. We then 40 of us along with the co ordinators took the bus into the city where they took us to the shopping mall for people to buy SIM cards, exchange money etc. we did some food shopping and brought some snack food. We then took the vans home back to the house where had dinner then had our daily 8pm meeting. The orientation week is this week but because I am not here for very long I've chosen to skip it and go straight into the program. I've chosen the babie orphanage and the disabled orphanage and I will do half a day at each. The bus ride to the orphanage is 1 1/2 so it's a long drive I have to take everyday. I'm leaving at 7:30am tomorrow morning so I'm really excited
