Most of those in the Centre, including those flying home today (Seb included) went in three minibuses to the locall Roma camp - it's within sight of the Centre across several fields.
It was an amazing experience with, eventually, about 150 Roma children being entertained in one of the open spaces next to the 'camp'.
We formed three groups and sang songs ( 'If you're happy and you know it' in Albanian!), and played games (we taught them the 'Hokey Cokey'!). Interaction easier than you might think even if you don't know the language. The children were desperate to hold our hands, have their photos taken, and just be loved - it was a humbling experience amongst the obvious deprivation of these people who are regarded, for various reasons, as outcasts in the community.
Two of the local pastors and members of their congregations joined us, as did two of our 'usual' young interpreters.
After nearly two hours, we 'went walkabout' in the camp with many of the children in tow - The smile minibus went to various points and distributed aid, mainly in the form of clothing.
Back for lunch with much to think about..........
