Today we went to the Cancer Hospital for the first time this semester, my first time going from school. On entering the premises I had a few bad memories of coming to see my friend's mother who was suffering from cancer and soon succumbed to it. I was impressed with the playhouse and the material in it for the use of the children such as books, stationery, a computer, a tv with a surround sound system and musical instruments. The place looked really bright and cheery after the recent renovations but the room was in a state of general disarray which we immediately decided to set straight on the following Thursday. We learnt that the teacher of the playhouse had not come for a week from a young mother who came in with her timid, smiling daughter much to our displeasure. I think that we should come to an argeement with the directress that if the teacher does not show a satisfactory log of her presence and a record of her work we will stop paying her.
We also sat and continued out brainstorming fund raising ideas which we had begun on the way and discussed several improvements needed to be done in the playhouse and what could be done with the children and their parents.
