The first day was focused on the Black Sea and pollution. The hands-on activity involved the kids each receiving a feather they were able to dip in regular water, then water with oil, and then they cleaned their feathers with dish soap and water. After the activity we watched "Ghost Ships of the Black Sea" by National Geographic. We also ended up playing football (soccer for all you Americans reading this) in the late afternoon with a few of the kids. It was fun and really made me miss playing football on grass, for fun. While I enjoy playing, I don't really enjoy playing on concrete which seems to be most common for pick-up games here in Sliven. Also, I like a little bit of competition but would rather just play for fun, once it gets really competitive, I tend to get less interested.
The second day was focused on waves and the hands-on activity was making a sea in a bottle. The kids seemed to greatly enjoy it and then we all watched "Shallow Seas" from the Planet Earth series. There was also a raffle that day in which one kid one a kite and playing cards just for attending which he seemed to enjoy outside (everyone else received stickers). It was great being able to help out another volunteer and learn some more ways to teach kids about our environment.
Peace, Love, Literacy, and Reckless Curiosity.
