What a Week!

We finished the Fuzine Youth Festival yesterday. What a week! It turned out to be a great experience. I think the kids really enjoyed it, and perhaps even learned a bit of English, despite the difficult time they had focusing because it was the last week of school. Yesterday was actually the last day of school for them because today is a Croatian holiday (Anti-Fascism Day). We had a celebration where each class performed some kind of presentation. The preschool kids sang (2 of my favorite songs: "Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee" and the shark song), and were so cute! Maja's and my class (3rd and 4th grade/3 i 4 razred) chose their presentation all by themselves. They coreographed a dance to "Jailhouse Rock" - it was amazing! We were so proud of them! The older kids did skits about being kind to others (Acts of Kindness was the theme of the week). We also had a really fun campfire/s'mores/movie charades night with the team. Way fun! All in all, it was great, and I am glad I got to be here for FYF. Today, it was back to work on EDS and ROM preparations. We get the weekend off, though, and Brajna and I are going to the coast tomorrow. Yay! Then back to work on Monday, and basically we will be working for the next 2 months until ROM finishes. The Deputee girls will arrive in Croatia on Sunday! We are all excited to see them!
