New Years celebrations this year were a lot of fun for all our kids many of the staff and volunteers worked hard to ensure that they had a great time. Around 40 of the children stayed up till midnight to welcome in the new year and were rewarded with a massive display of fireworks thanks to Brad & Miriam Crouch two of our volunteers from Australia. As they have done every year the kids danced till they could dance no more... a massive bonfire, snacks, hot tea & coffee and various other treats ensured that all stayed awake, full, warm and happy!

The older hostel boys also went for a camping trip just before New Years Eve. They took food and supplies and had a great time in spite of the cold winter nights. There were high hopes that they would spot elephants as a herd of them had recently moved into the area where they were camping but sadly nothing was seen or heard. This was probably for the best as wild elephants are far more dangerous than most people realize.
