<span lang="EN-US">The following day, the other 2 classes
(younger kids) had their reward trip. We took them to MacDonalds. They all got
to choose which happy meal they wanted and for some this was a very difficult
decision! After munching our way through hamburger, chicken nuggets and so on
and checking out each others “toys”, they had fun playing and got rid of some
of their energy on the activity area outside. The weather was pretty chilly, so
after a while we headed back to the vans and went to Snagov (the girls house),
where we watched “Brave”, coloured in and ate popcorn before heading back home.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This year I decided to do something
different for a reward trip and took the orchestra kids and older music class
to the cinema during the spring break. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I didn’t tell them where we were going
until they were in the vans and there was great excitement as they learned that
we were going to the cinema to see a 3D film. For a lot of them it was their
first time to the cinema and for all of them their first time seeing a 3D film
with the “funny glasses” on. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We arrived at the mall where the cinema is
and all the kids had fun going round the revolving doors (several times) and
then trying to walk<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>down the escalator
which was going up. We had a bit of time to spare before the film started and
wandered around the shops. Guess where we ended up – yes the mobile phone shops
and the Nike store!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Thanks to Cristi in our church, we got the
tickets for free, which made the day even better!! After the cinema we ate
Pizzahut before returning to the orphanage.</span></div>

celebrated the birthdays of the kids who had birthdays in March or April. They
were each given a cake with a candle on it and after we sang happy birthday to
them, they made a wish and blew out their candle and the best bit was they got to eat
the whole cake!</span></div>

having to completely redecorate my bedroom as a teenager after the walls,

to say that this time was much more successful. We made invisible ink and wrote
secret messages, blew up balloons with fizz in a bottle, we mixed different
coloured paints and shaving cream in plastic bags to make new colours, made
elephant toothpaste and even made our own slime! The kids loved it and although
we made a lot of mess, I think they learned something and will remember it for
a long time to come.</span></span></div>

Christmas may be over but the memories will last a lifetime!<br />
<br />
For us Christmas started in November, when we made angel Christmas cards,
using handprints - very messy, but a lot of fun.<br />

On December 6th we had our first performance and party at Peris, where the
audience was treated to some Christmas carols sung by the choir, played by the
band and soloists and handbell group and some ballet and hip hop performances
too! After this, all the kids joined in some Christmas games and decorated
"cookies" (which were soon devoured), before settling down to watch a
Christmas film with popcorn and hot chocolate.<br />

On the 15th December, Alpha Omega church gave a party for some of the music
kids. The kids performed once again before being treated to some Romanian

After a few games, they each recieved presents before having to return to the
orpahange.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">I have just been home to Scotland for a 10
day visit. The aim of this trip was to spend time with my parents and to relax.
I caught up with some of my friends but, unfortunately there was not enough
time to see everyone I wanted to, so if I didn’t get to see this time, sorry!
However, I did manage very noisy overnight stay in the centre of Glasgow, a
visit to Loch Lomond and a day trip to the beautiful island of Arran. Good memories.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This summer, our theme for day camps was the
Olympic Games. The 2 days were spilt into 3 sessions with the afternoon of day
2 allocated as pool time!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The 3 sessions were; “I am a good sport”,
the lesson I taught about having a good attitude, session 2; “I am a champion”
about running the Christian race and session 3; “I am forgiven”, about
salvation and how to receive this prize.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Each session was packed with intersting stories,
information and discussions and fun activities like crafts, songs, memory verse
challenges and loads of games and as it was in the 90’s we had a lot of games
involving water and water balloons!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">This year on my birthday, the H2H staff went
to the mountains to investigate a “new road” to take the boys to camp. It was a
dreich day, but that didn’t dampen our spirits. We set out late morning in two
vans and after stopping for a quick picnic lunch we continued our journey finally
arriving at the narrow, single track, rough and sometimes crumbing at the edges
road we were looking for. We drove for
what seemed like forever round bends, through potholes, sometimes stopping to
let other vehicles past until we arrived at a standstill. They were still
constructing the road and had to wait for the trucks to move before we could
venture on. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We pulled into a makeshift passing place
and turned off the engines to wait.
After a while it was time to set off, but one of the vans would not
start. I should point out that I don’t like heights and so I was a bit nervous
to start with. One of the guys decided it would be a good idea to jump start
the van rolling it backwards down this narrow and windy road, so all the
passengers got out and left him to it! After much starting and stopping and
coughing and spluttering (the van, not me), it started! Relief! We decided that
that van should go back down to Sinaia and only the other van should go to the
top. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I spent the rest of the afternoon drinking
hot tea and visiting the shops with the others from that van. The rest took a
LONG time to get back to the bottom – I think they took a wrong turn! When we
did, we celebrated my birthday with a
lovely international meal; Romanians, Americans , Scots (only me) ate at
an Irish pub in the Romanian mountains!! A birthday I won’t forget easily!!</span></div>

The H2H missionaries who work there, have been teaching the children in Rosiori about life in other countries and most recently America, so we used this opportunity for the Kiwanas team to tell the children a little information about sport and life in America and then the children made various “American” themed crafts.<br />

She is only 6 and everyday I am at the orphanage she wants to stay in my music class. She has obviously been in listening carefully at the band rehearsals and yesterday during private lessons she decided she wanted to be the conductor. (We had been doing conducting lessons with some of the classes last week – although not with her class). She put on the very large conductors jacket and with baton in hand decided to conduct Jen, the other pupils and me. She was so serious and at the end said “Bravo Copii!” (Well done children!). She is just too cute for her own good!<br />

W e spent time one Saturday colouring in, making bracelets and playing games with the kids and the Mission Possible team. As the baby hospital was still under quarantine, I was unable to go to and work with the babies, so I went to the gradinita (nursery) class instead and made crafts, read stories etc. I love spending time with these kids but I am looking forward to going back to feeding, changing and playing with the babies again soon.<br />

When they arrived we ate together and then we all changed into our pyjamas and started the “minute to win it” games. There was a lot of competition and friendly rivalry between “The Angels” and “Faith” (the two teams chose the names themselves). After the games were over we settled down with some popcorn and snacks to watch “The Last Song” . This ended about 12.30am and some of the girls went to bed, but some decided to watch a second film!! The next morning, after getting some sleep, we ate pancakes for breakfast before the girls left.<br />

Roe and Jim from California came to lead us in bible studies, discussions on how to be a good mentor and developing our strengths as part of a team, just to mentions a few of the topics. We also had fun in our small teams, as each night one of the teams would prepare a meal for the other staff using only the ingredients given. The first night we had Mexican, the second we had Italian and the third (my team) was Chinese. I must have made at least 100 pancake rolls – some turned out better than others. One evening we had a “Bunco” gamesnight and another evening we all took part in a mini scavenger hunt at the shopping plaza which ended up with an ice cream or starbucks! We learned a lot about ourselves and the other staff and we had fun together too!<br />

We had all traditional speeches, I gave the Immortal Memory, Mark gave “the Toast to the Lassies” and Hayley the reply. Ghita carried in the Haggis to “Scotland the Brave” played on the bagpipes via the computer!! Maybe the first time in history that the Haggis has been carried in by a Romanian!! Americans and Romanians alike tried some Haggis along with mince, tatties and peas followed by bannocks and cheese, shortbread and tablet. After the speeches and letting food go down, I tried to teach them some Scottish dances. Hilarious!! “The Gay Gordons” proved a bit too complicated for some, so then we tried the “St. Bernard’s Waltz” and “The Dashing White Sergeant”, both of which seemed to be a bit easier. Two of our boys (graduates) were outside shovelling snow, but managed to finish just in time to learn “The Dashing White Sergeant”. It took some gentle persuasion, but once they got in full swing – there was no stopping them!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfk4RO1WRnuxMfiYRloyiKw2-6AMcgvcvORZqC7A3ixDGvvp8aIv2RdfngNGw0qOK14j9n06JOb0IiCE2TMk-GWmsb3NVVmKNEfotioz48FFPJ2-CpvhXXfE8t7IE0mP_kFRX9TLsvLjz8/s1600/scotland+Dec+2011+-+Jan+2012+and+Burns+supper+128.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704875407084265746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfk4RO1WRnuxMfiYRloyiKw2-6AMcgvcvORZqC7A3ixDGvvp8aIv2RdfngNGw0qOK14j9n06JOb0IiCE2TMk-GWmsb3NVVmKNEfotioz48FFPJ2-CpvhXXfE8t7IE0mP_kFRX9TLsvLjz8/s400/scotland+Dec+2011+-+Jan+2012+and+Burns+supper+128.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxi-AkJxw932rJPcwYgfMT8qmpvvhxal1RukSk88fPsvvN2CXuEasKxEn6wsTY9aB4I6HFomNnBojZJCyaq6iS-b255ZI4e7LXz0ZnQOHJtWdXSHVW5cjc3Vl8SVo7EzqRrRe3jNoyUwBM/s1600/scotland+Dec+2011+-+Jan+2012+and+Burns+supper+085.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704875394224378898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxi-AkJxw932rJPcwYgfMT8qmpvvhxal1RukSk88fPsvvN2CXuEasKxEn6wsTY9aB4I6HFomNnBojZJCyaq6iS-b255ZI4e7LXz0ZnQOHJtWdXSHVW5cjc3Vl8SVo7EzqRrRe3jNoyUwBM/s400/scotland+Dec+2011+-+Jan+2012+and+Burns+supper+085.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIJAeMfAqR2Ex2lwnJzL6RZaT7FoiLePOd4N5MgeX1FB20LPsy2LjmpL6bd07dghRMfcAlCUeVJfNso-u58K7HH5xyCu39_7O1pxVfZH68oZ-trJZEgFraI55UzLz9KP32CxJIY0mzd1xb/s1600/scotland+Dec+2011+-+Jan+2012+and+Burns+supper+049.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704875376105370882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIJAeMfAqR2Ex2lwnJzL6RZaT7FoiLePOd4N5MgeX1FB20LPsy2LjmpL6bd07dghRMfcAlCUeVJfNso-u58K7HH5xyCu39_7O1pxVfZH68oZ-trJZEgFraI55UzLz9KP32CxJIY0mzd1xb/s400/scotland+Dec+2011+-+Jan+2012+and+Burns+supper+049.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_y-Fb24kagVW4gIhd3suIh7m2F82teDZ2U_ACn5z2OFK-O2kUW5J9rPIF8kCfP2dIBT5uu9Ou7p1HJwx3Jd9XKXd_dlL62sBhay7imXHE1r4r6ksvdrWHRIRlzlpBmdKSMovcsnU_t6WR/s1600/scotland+Dec+2011+-+Jan+2012+and+Burns+supper+045.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704875371199276754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_y-Fb24kagVW4gIhd3suIh7m2F82teDZ2U_ACn5z2OFK-O2kUW5J9rPIF8kCfP2dIBT5uu9Ou7p1HJwx3Jd9XKXd_dlL62sBhay7imXHE1r4r6ksvdrWHRIRlzlpBmdKSMovcsnU_t6WR/s400/scotland+Dec+2011+-+Jan+2012+and+Burns+supper+045.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWpKgvsxrruAip9KOBQzk2cSPl51pRSpNs8TnpQk7SXhq1xL020YlfoOUYa_OlzeMgqHOrZs9T6KTdBxUww1aKpH08ME4AWq7vS7HA2biXIdZpP-z-Ex2IfSTeSBIKC3DY7i2cnu-_e21-/s1600/scotland+Dec+2011+-+Jan+2012+and+Burns+supper+038.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704875362396883666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWpKgvsxrruAip9KOBQzk2cSPl51pRSpNs8TnpQk7SXhq1xL020YlfoOUYa_OlzeMgqHOrZs9T6KTdBxUww1aKpH08ME4AWq7vS7HA2biXIdZpP-z-Ex2IfSTeSBIKC3DY7i2cnu-_e21-/s400/scotland+Dec+2011+-+Jan+2012+and+Burns+supper+038.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div></div></div></div>Kirsteenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00382647487319526036noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502699752415664585.post-44207281777055936682012-02-03T03:17:00.000-08:002012-02-03T03:36:48.314-08:00A Scottish FurloughI have been back from my furlough for nearly two weeks now and in some ways it seems so long ago. I had great time with my parents and friends. I managed a lovely wee visit to Monifieth, near Dundee to visit my friend Mary who bought a wee cottage nearly two years ago, which I hadn’t seen. I met two new wee people, Finlay and Alexander who are both gorgeous and were born since my last visit home. I went to the beach (all wrapped up in winter woollies, I might add) for a brisk walk after lunch with my friend Lorna. A shopping trip with my friend Kirsty to the January sales and many wee cups of tea and lots of cakes, breakfasts, lunches and dinners out with many other friends. I had several opportunities to formally speak about my work here in Romania. Firstly, I spent an afternoon talking to some lovely ladies from Milngavie. On the Saturday before I came back to Romania, Val (who came to Romania on a tenderfoot trip last May for the first time), hosted a fundraising lunch in her home for around 70 people. After a couple of meetings, a BIG shopping trip, and a crazy night preparing Romanian food in Val’s kitchen, the lunch was HUGE success. On the evening of Sunday 8th January, many people from my church and others in the area gathered to hear about my work in Romania over the last year. I know from the conversations I had afterwards, that the stories of the children I work with, touched their hearts.

We had many fun games like trying eat bread and honey from a string without using your hands, pass the parcel, make a snowman using a member of your team and toilet paper! Each party started with the H2H staff singing some Christmas Carols and ended with the kids decorating sugar cookies and eating as much frosting as they could!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1m0sfRe33g3hlnmqDujv4TaJhW35Z1P_9pMpu1DU4CqmRnIruIRujkcTkm4yFK05NmQEZ5wwe_aEGZ1A-F3ixFSlUOsT-3yZsZDWunCQxrPRq7-bJt-P-z9LnMlzqW_EFp4GWa2ufO-8D/s1600/christmas+2011+059.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686628159953692082" style="DISPLAY: block;
