Afula

We went to a childrens home on Monday.
There we were each given a child to look after and play with.
All the children there are there because of family problems.
Some live there and others just go after school and get picked up at 8:00.
There they can do school work or get fed if there family hasn't got enough to do so.
I was paired up with a little boy called shalev. He is six years old and speaks no english.
so to begin with it was really strange because i could only understand a few words. But we managed to get through. we each drew a picture with each of our names on it and we swapped them. His was really sweet.
We then played outside and he taught me a few words like swing and slide.
When we had to go it was really sad to see his face but we will be seeing each other every monday.
