School holiday activities with the MCT children

We have been very busy at the MCT center the last 2 weeks withe the children's school holiday activities. I have been assisting with lots of different projects such as sports activities; on Tuesday morning we took the children to play hockey at a local tennis club who rent out various pitches - it was very hot! There is a good sized sports hall at the center where the children can run around, play ball games, skipping and team games every day - which they need as they seem to have endless energy!
On Monday I helped to run a hygiene workshop with Naima, one of the social workers and in the afternoon we had a cooking session with the children: we prepared and cooked mini pizzas, harira soup and moroccan pancakes and then we enjoyed eating them together!
On Tuesday evening Oliver and I ran the english class for a small group of young adults - we played a memory game called 'going to the supermarket'(my idea) which used the alphabet and lots of vocabulary and then finished the lesson playing hangman. It was fun!
On Wednesday morning we watched 'Snow white & the seven dwarfs' which the children really enjoyed.
Unfortunately, on Thursday and Friday I developed a cold so I had a couple of days resting in the volunteer house.
Sadly, but as you can understand, I cannot take pictures of the children for legal reasons but here are a few photos of various things...
