The last month saw the return of the GVI Cap Ternay raft for rupees race to raise funds for the Presidents Village Children’s Home. Everybody put a lot of effort into making their rafts (well all that they could!) and they all turned out pretty well considering no one was a raft making expert!
The race was great for everyone and a huge amount of fun was had by all. The team raised a whopping 1100GBP for the Presidents Village Children’s Home.
The President’s Village is home to around sixty children of various ages, ranging from a few months up to 18 years. The staff at the home do an amazing job of looking after the kids so it is nice to be able to give them a break by playing some games with the children and helping them to use up some of their excess energy.
Last Sunday a group of thirty staff and volunteers organized numerous games and activities for all the amazing kids at the presidents village for ‘Creole Day’. For the artistic folk amongst us there was face painting, fingernail painting and mask making, as well as arts and crafts and friendship bracelets, which the kids loved. There was also an energetic game of football for the sports fanatics, however it was the younger kids who really showed us how it is done.
