This week in RCCI the students came together and watched a Disney film. The local students greatly enjoyed this animated film and attentively watched throughout the entire session. In this session we indirectly were dealing with an issue of global importance; poverty. The local students are less fortunate and unable to afford items such as televisions. Therefore, this experience was one that was unique for them as they do not often have the opportunity to use electronics such as these.
This activity also exposed the students to English. Hearing the Disney characters speak could teach them new basic English vocabulary. The students currently have a very limited vocabulary in English.
I undertook a new challenge this session, as it was my first week being the official student leader of RCCI. The local group arrived 30 minutes late. This created difficulties as many kids decided to leave to their homes. Due to this, along with a small group of other students I had to ensure that the activity was carried out correctly. After watching the movie, we gathered the students to eat snack. The following is a picture of the students eating their snacks.
