In tennis I have been able to get in more friendly matches on weekends in order to stack up my match experience, on coach's orders. I've found that tennis provides a refreshing and energising break from academics. Again I'm inproving in fitness and developing some advanced skills in the sport. Coach is pushing me pretty hard.
For the Cancer Hospital, in order to raise money to by 'oxypura masks' we organised a movie night for the primary school on the 28th. The amount we had to raise was Rs. 18,000. These masks would allow the children to venture outside without the risk of infection from any impure air they would breath. I learnt a lot in the organisation of the event in terms of coordinating and distributing tasks with and to different members of the group, and planning in advance. In the end we managed to pull it off and earn around Rs. 25,000. The day before we had actually distributed the masks amongst the children. It was intersting to see how much they appreciated the small gesture.
On Wednesday the 13th I decided to attend a workshop, organised by school, on the works of Shakespeare. This workshop was conducted by a specialist by the name of Don Foley. As I was studying Shakespeare for theatre arts at the time I found this workshop very useful. We learnt how to properly interpret and act out Shakespeare's plays including aspects such as rythm and movement. Foley himself was quite a dramatic character.
