Hope you are well! This week has been a quiet week so not so much to report but I wanted to do a quick entry.
Work is continuing to be challanging although friday was the best day I have had since I have been there. The boys were very well behaved and there was only one naughty boy there and all his naughty friends did not turn up, what a shame!! ha!!! it was a very peaceful day!
There are less boys in the centre at the moment as over the past couple of weeks about 5 boys have left the street. One has gone back home and the others have gone to live in a residentual centre, how great is that!! It is sad to see them go but I am so happy that they are going to have a better life. Alot of the boys in the centre at the moment are working towards leaving the street. One boy stood up and made an anouncement that he has decided to leave the street because he no longer wants to cold at night, bless, it was very emotional and he got a big clapp!! he is only 12 years old and a lovely boy, he will get there because he is working really well with the staff.
The boys have been more respectful this week and they are learning from me that I will only help them if they say please, ha! they are very demanding at times and just shout at you so I am trying to teach them to ask nicely and it is working! It is causing great amusement as I just stand there waiting for the magic word!
Last night we went to a party as it is Emma`s birthday on thursday so today I am very tired. The rest of the weekend has consited of cleaning. The house is looking alot better and now all the lights work, yeah!
Anyway must go as I am going to walk back with my housemate as it is very dark!!!! there is are ghosts around here, I will tell you more in my next blogg, keep watching!!
