Good morning !
More than a month ago, Giulia, a friend of mine, asked me if I wanted to be involved in something interesting. Her mum works as a teacher in an elementary school, not far from where we live.
This year they're working on a project where the children discover more about community, help, friendship and many other topics that could easily be connected with scoutism.
I can't precisely remember the day, but in March our leader Luca, Giulia and I visited the class and met the children. Throughout the year they read the ''Jungle Book'' by Kipling, on which the activities for youngest scout are based. They already knew names, stories, traditions and many other things, it was a pleasure to work with them. On this first meeting they welcomed us singing ''Strade di Coraggio'', a song written for the national event we had last year, and ,while singing, they were holding a draw of the official logo. We than taught them a couple of songs for scout of their age and we spoke a little bit, discovering what they thought about scoutism and we answered their questions.
This morning we had the second and last meeting: when we arrived they were still in the gym, doing activities connected with music. After that, we taught them another song and than we moved the activities outside. We played a game outside and they has do much fun ! When it came the time to say goodbye, in order to thank us, the children started singing ''Up'' by Olly Murs and Demi Lovato and they also danced !
After this ''last goodbye'' I felt emotional: it was hard not to cry a little bit but I managed to hold back the tears. Those 9 kids were so sweet, I really do hope the best for them.
This is it for today. This afternoon I'm going to cut my hair (rare event...for which I'm so so so nervous) and tonight I'll probably go to the cinema, because I won free tickets ahah
Have a nice weekend !
Fede
