Dear all,

I'm so excited that I cannot type properly too! :-)

I have got about 30 kids who have completed the four questions! Now let me know whether I should send them all in one mail or in batches?

Thank you so much Patti, for writing to those five boys. I took individual printouts and pinned it up on another chart paper which I have marked as `Kidlink Response'. The moment I reached the camp, some seven-eight boys came rushing to me, all so excited that some of them had actually got a reply. `But who is Mrs.Weeg I don't know her' was the general question. Then they wanted to show off the mails to their moms, other friends or brother/sister. They also asked whether they can reply to Mrs Weeg - `Of course' I said.

The other kids handed me their completed four questions' replies and they were all hopeful that they too will get a reply. Patti, are you reading this? :-)

I am also thankful to a lady there who is helping me out. She is staying in one of the shelter camps, and she is taking much interest with the kids. She is there throughout the day - while we volunteers have our own time schedules. What's more she is a very gentle and sweet-mom-like friendly woman, who knows what the kids want and when.

I was happy that today the shy little girls too, participated with equal enthusiasm. One girl gave me her painting but I told her that I'll collect the painting later on, but she just put it with my papers!

I think they all are ready to interact, or take part in writing or artwork project. I'll need your guidance please!

cheers
Roopal
