the very first childrens’ programme held at the mosque went well! it was all about me running here and there assisting the teachers, printing worksheets and making sure the learning materials were provided, making decisions, food and more food for the kids and whatnots. eventually the smile of the children and their laughters and seeing how much they enjoy the programme were the greatest gifts of all~~
the overwhelming response and support from parents are as valuable as their children’s happiness. organizing these holiday programmes had actually given me a glimpse of how it will be like when it comes to the real thing! and that is…in less than a month. what a long list of things to do!
enthusiastic, participative…a happy bunch! especially on the trip to pasir ris park on wednesday. of all days of the week, it had to rain that morning…but the powers above were on our side. just when we reached the park, the sun greeted us with such fine weather i almost cried with relief.
the younger ones had to collect seashells and dry leaves to make a collage and i was amazed at how sharp the kids can be. they could even spot the tiniest crab shells and squealed and jumping with such amazement everytime they found something. it made me remember why we were doing all these in the first place. beautiful children.
of course, there are always room for improvement. all through the week i noticed all the small details which i should really have thought of earlier and not take for granted. but alhamdulillah, children were safe and enjoyed the whole 5-days programme.
so this is the job i have chosen to tread upon…so much strength and mind energy….and i’m fortunate to have people around me encouraging and supporting me.
but i guess this is just the beginning, it’ll get more easier as it goes along~
i need a break. and exciting July is just few more weeks to go!! 😉
