The morning started with the
celebration of Dor’s birthday, so it was his chance to wear the birthday crone
and the rainbow cross bands.
After breakfast we split up into the family groups. The public group had a
great time at the kindergarten, singing, playing and taking selfies with the
children. The kitchen group was swiping, cleaning and sweating for having clean
bathrooms again.
After lunch some people had a great time at the river Havel, learned how to
swim, played cards and enjoyed the refreshing river water. The hardworking
group at the rainbow finally got the concrete to fix the wooden structure.
Since it was really hot, sweaty and exhausting they were very excited when
Marlene and Tine surprised them with some nice ice-cream…Wuuuunderbar!!
All of us were really happy and relieved to welcome back Saja at dinner, she
was fighting during the bicycle trip to Rathenow. Luckily she won the fight and
survived the hectic ride.
In the evening we were practicing the songs that we are going to sing at the
rainbow side when we put up the last
rainbow beam. It almost felt like we were in South Africa as we were singing
Siyahamba!
We had another celebration (with cake!!!) for Dor’s birthday, he finally got
back his lost phone that he was longing for soooo long!
And then the Party started… We had karaoke (with cake!!). Some hidden talents
were discovered as everyone hit the stage and performed some great and some not
so great songs. Even though it was still hot, we were dancing a lot, sweating a
lot and had a great time learning the Arabian dance moves.
Even when most people were happy, it was also a really sad evening because we
had to say farewell to one of our family members, who had to go back to
Israel...Too soon! We’ll try to keep it as a `till we meet again´. The night
ended in good spirits as we celebrated another birthday boy.
