Presentation done. The girls will be introducing their project to everyone back home shortly. Its been a difficult topic but the project encompasses the theme beautifully #SGLI2019
After the Bollywood Dance was over it time for the talent show by the students. We had rap, ballet, hula dancing, songs from Alladin and a fabulous contemporary dance performance by our own Daisy #SGLIgotTalent
Finally after many practices we were finally ready for the performance of the dance. Although we were two members down , we gave it our best shot. #bollywoodbeauties
Just before lunch we had a Skype call with Mr Anshu Gupta, Social Entrepreneur and founder of Goonj. Interesting insight into how the company is using urban discarded materials to help to alleviate poverty #goonj
After dance practice Ms Shukla Bose from the Parikrma Humanity Foundation in Bengalore spoke to us about her work. She founded Parikrma after giving up her job as a CEO and volunteering with Mother Teresa for 7 years . A remarkable lady providing an education to the poor children
And quietly in a corner of the restaurant the teachers had dinner together too. We are very lucky to have met two great new friends from Hawaii. #sgli2019
Mrs Pearce and Ms Reynolds returned to the hotel to be greeted with a lovely gift from Manisha, program director. We can wear them at the Bollywood dance display, we need something to distract from our dancing.
So this was our route and we had to get to all the checkpoints listed. We had teams of 5 students, a teacher and a chaperone. Mrs Reynolds had Daisy and Kristen and other students and Mrs Pearce had Olivia and other students and we were sent on our way......
After racing around Hyderabad Daisy, Kristen and Olivia still know there is work to be done. Emails for their project to be sent, a presentation put together. Moral courage is an interesting, complex issue but they've got to grips with it & have a plan #amazingyoungpeople
But in true Hitchin Girls School style we took 1st and 2nd across the line. Just goes to show HGSGeography that those map reading lessons are extremely important
