BMC

Picture by Kathrine

At BMC, (Bushenyi Medical Centre) a week ago, we made some figures out of modeling clay amongst other things. You can see the work done at the picture above. Other things we did were playing cards and paper folding. It was only 5 children, but when I can see that they’re enjoying it really makes it worth it! And I say only 5 children because yesterday they were 15 children. That is a record for our time at BMC.

Yesterday we had an Easter workshop together with the children. It was so fun. BEST TIME EVER! The children were so free. Before we have had to ask them if they want to do this or this, but yesterday they just went on doing whatever they wanted; painting, drawing freely, playing cards, paper folding and watching books. It was a wonderful chaos… :) And the children must have enjoyed as much as Kathrine and I did, because many stayed way past their examination/medication time… Children that don’t want to leave the Health Centre because they’re enjoying too much… How wonderful is that… :)

A wonderful chaos. We had a problem of space because we were so many, but that’s just fun.

I called it an Easter workshop… That’s because it was the last time before Easter and we painted on eggs which is kind of a tradition back in Norway. We also made waffles to them. This was something new for them, but it seemed that they liked it…

Painting on eggs

You can se the painted eggs hanging in front and some of the paintings and drawings of the children at the wall behind. Soon we’ll not have more space for all the nice pictures they produce… :)
