Thursday 30th June 2022

I was up quite early today, as I was having breakfast with Daya at 07:30, so that we could walk to Blackpool Junction, get the bus to Nanuoya, and arrive at school by 08:30. Everything went according to plan, and fortunately the weather at the start of the day was okay, because later it turned into the worst day weather-wise, I had experienced since returning to Nuwara Eliya!

When I got to school, I met Nuzi, who I knew very well from when I was here in 2019 but had hardly seen at all this time round. She is getting married in August, so we chatted about her plans for the wedding and her hopes for the future generally. I gave her a card and some bangles for her wedding and was surprised to find that she had brought a gift for me - a rather nice pen, which I will treasure.

Today's blog is going to belong to Jesmin and Gobinath, two very special members of Tea Leaf Vision's team of staff. I spent a long time writing a general reference for each of them today, which was something I agreed that I would do at the outset of the Rotary International Project. They have both served as outstanding representatives of Tea Leaf Vision in delivering very successful outcomes for the project.

Jesmin is a member of the Central Management Team and helped to lead and manage the project, whereas Gobi was the key member of Tea Leaf Vision staff delivering the project. I have picked out some of my favourite photographs of each of them, as the weather was so awful today that I didn't take any new ones. So it is a well-earned tribute to Jesmin and Gobi today!

    Hello Keith.
    The meeting tonight was cancelled as so many members are absent that my speaker has therefore been postponed. Being a specialist nurse at the RUH, she was going to talk about dermatological skin problems in the older person. Very relevant!
    Your array of pictures are excellent, and they send out a very clear impression of the people and the way of life. Thanks.
    Your earlier report was quite an undertaking and made compelling reading with all the statistics and comments from so many school heads and administrators. Your time is running out, so keep up the good work and we'll see you back in the fall.
    Best wishes, Mike

It was my final day in the Pre-Primary Department of the Royal International School today, which was kind of sad, as they have been so welcoming, and I have had the most amazing time there. Miss Agatha and Miss Tharika run a very tight team that manages 902 children from Toddlers to Nursery to Lower Kindergarten (LKG) to Upper Kindergarten (UKG) extraordinarily well, and which provides an excellent foundation for these pupils' learning journey. I had a wonderful morning where I was observing Number lessons with the UKG Co-ordinator and the English Co-ordinator (seeing the level of English in the Number lessons). In almost all the lessons, the quality of the teaching was exceptionally high, with the attention to detail - and in particular with the resources they had prepared - quite incredible. And apart from all of that, it was great fun, which is, in my opinion what learning should be for children. I had a nerve-wracking afternoon, as I had to deliver a session on time management

My younger granddaughter Esther is 5 years old today, so I messaged her 10-year-old sister Isabella to ask her to wish her a 'Happy Birthday' from me. It was much less of a crazy day today, with a morning filled with lesson observations - this time observing English lessons in the Upper KinderGarten (UKG) classes, which is the equivalent year to Reception, so I could imagine Esther being at school with the children I was with all morning today. It was really useful today to watch the teaching of English to the 5-year-olds, whose level of understanding is already very impressive. As with the Tea Leaf Centres, it is a fully immersive system, so everything is conducted in English, and it is impressive how much English these 5-year-olds already know, in the same way that the progress Tea Leaf students make through the one-year full-time English Diploma is also extremely impressive. If you have been reading my blog, you may remember that Erica, who I had a wonderful weekend with in

I would say that this was easily my most enjoyable day so far, but it got rather spoiled this evening when I handled an extremely frustrating situation very badly. Let's focus on the good part of the day, because it really was a pleasure to work with Miggy and Stephanie all day, as we went in search of accommodation for Stephanie from next Tuesday 9th January, that we could also recommend to future volunteers who are working with Tea Leaf Trust in the Nuwara Eliya area. We visited 10 different Guest Houses between 10:00 and 16:00, with a brief stop for a delicious buffet lunch (that only cost 500LKR - a round   £1.25 -  per head) in b etween. We found some very suitable accommodation to suit a range of budgets in a variety of locations, but there was one place that was exceptional, where we returned at the end of the day to make a booking for Stephanie, who will go there at the same time as Isabelle, a new volunteer, next Tuesday. Our ideal accommodation (and I would happily stay t
