I've ridden on a motorbike and enjoyed a Songtime for the first time EVER!

That's how Irvine summed up Tuesday in Hle Bee.


Today, Irvine and Guardian Angel had to go to pick up 3 boxes of OUR BURMA BOOK books on GA's motorbike. GA had one box at his feet, Irvine had one on his knee and one behind him that he had to hold on to too. Wish I had got that photo but here's a posed subsitute.



That's the school behind Irvine at the end of the lane.

Our hotel rooms are the rooms on the first floor to Irvine's right.

That's how close we are to Hle Bee.

Emma, the Canadian student's on her way home too with her little helpers.



At the end of today, we gathered the whole school together for Songtime. We used to do this in the kindergarten room but it was very small so we had to squash the school in and the tin roof meant we lashed buckets of sweat as we sang. Today we went into the new building at the back of the school that is home to two Grade 2 classes. It has a natural grass/straw roof and is much cooler.



Thazin had gone to market to buy a speaker for the CD player.

It was enormous!


So we gathered - all 350 - to sing Fischy songs, As We Go Now, I'm the only I, Build Up, You are a Star and our new toothbrushing song. Geoff played the guitar to start us on the Toothbrushing Song.







This is an unmissable sight for Forthview School.

So were the Hle Bee teachers.....

I'm sure you've ridden on my motorbike, Irv. Thinking of you all out there. This is my first attempt at posting a comment so I'm not expecting it to reach you.
