This morning was very interesting, as the students were doing a Community Service Project and I accompanied Mr. Anton’s class. We went on the bus and then walked to the Moonplains Tea Plantation, where the students picked up litter and placed it in bags, which we then left by the side of the road for the ‘bin men’ to collect later.

We arrived at the Tea Plantation just as the ladies were bringing in their bags of leaves to be weighed and sorted, so I was able to take a few photographs of that. I saw proper ‘line houses’ for the first time, which was very interesting. It is a stark reminder of how poor they are, although there are a few richer houses in amongst the poorer ones and they look out across the fields to a large new housing development with luxury homes that they could never dream of buying.

I was fortunate enough to also be able to pop into the Moonplains TV Primary School (a Government Primary School), which has 65 children, all of whom are extremely poor. The school has two buildings, but one of them is unfit for use and the School Manager appealed to me for help with funding the restoration of that building, but I am sadly not able to take on that project as well!

Today's photos are all from this morning's outing.
