Day 4 - Church, Lunch and Beach!!!

What a fantastic day we have had!!

The girls and staff chose which of the church services they wished to attend, accompanied by the staff at Hope Prep, Nelson Mandela and the Chairman of the Waterloo Partnership's wife Aminata. The long services were broken up by some very energetic singing and our participation (Mr Power read the readings at St Raphael's and the girls read the First and Second readings at Fannyann's church. At the offertory, we took our religious books  to be blessed and we were thanked profusely for attending and helping the community of Waterloo.
We the had a lovely lunch at Fannyann's (after Mr Power and Mrs Robinson went and met with Mr Sandi's church officials)  - rice, vegetables and ??? never tasted so good.
Then a lovely few hours on Mama Beach where everyone dipped their toes into the Atlantic which was so refreshing. The girls played with Fannyann’s relatives, braided hair, watched with fascination the signal crabs and generally relaxed.
The journey home, on the Peninsula Road - which is half completed - didn't allow anyone to sleep, but a lovely convivial evening meal ended  a most enjoyable Sunday!
Lessons at both Hope and Nelson Mandela tomorrow ......
