The first ever school trip to another school


One Wednesday my mum dicieded to go on a school trip to Alan's school. Alan thought that was a brilliant idea so next Monday, after humanities, we would all go to Chisero school. Chisero is the school that Alan built for the children of Chisero because they didn't have any school where to go and learn and play.
When that Monday came, also our friend Ben was there. So, adults in Alan's car and kids in Ben's car! Also Kay joined our trip, so Kay, Filippo, Ben and myself were in Ben's car and My mum, my dad and Erica (a Italian girl that is staying for a while with us) were in Alan's car.
To get to Chisero it was a long long ride and a bummpy one too. But at last we arrived. We found a open house as a school with a lots of children and teachers.
When we arrived they diecieded to sing for us some joyful songs. First they sang of their school than for Alan. He was embaresed when they sang for him, but very very happy.
After that we took a hike up a hill and then downhill to where we found a nice beautiful stream with freash and clear water,the children get the water from the stream for the school. From there we went all the way down to Chisero and back to the school. the walk was a great one. It was a hot hot day I couldn't bear it but it was really amazing. When we got back to Chisero we brought out the pencils and books for the children of the school. After that we had a little snack then back all the way to school.
From this trip I learned that not all the children can afford to go to school and that we are all different and we are lucky to have a school like the one here at Chipata.
