Todays lesuire option was one of the most amzing times on this camp. It took me out of my comfort zone and really tested my interactions with other people. It was also great fun and all people we met there were all unique and amazing people.
For those of you who dont know lesuire options is a program run through the wambana curriculum to interact and play with people who are mentally challenged. At the start when we first arrived Mr. Baird warned us that we really needed to get out of comfort zone and talk with them. He also warned us that some of the people there would be hard to talk to but would gradually get better over the time.
When we first arrived at the place we were told to help these people plant seeds. I was assigned with Harry page with as man named Allan. Imediatly I asked him what he likes doing he just grumbled. From there I knew he'd be hard to talk to. Some of the things I found out about him was he had just moved up from Adelaide and lives in Warroka with his mum and some of his hobbies are gardening. But appart from that he wouldnt answer many of my other questions.
Deffinetly the worst part of the day had to be planting the seas.This is because it took a long time and was very boring. I also found it the worst part of my day because it didnt exactly allow us to interact with the people who I wished to find a lot about.
The best part was deffinetly finding things out about these people. They are unique and a great bunch of people. I really loved there compant and I am really looking foward to our next encounters at the wambana campus.
