Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices.
So every now and again, I give up my normally hectic weekends to work with local youth.


Out of the goodness of my heart I take them into my home and under my wing.....I try to broaden their horizons.....here we're making an omelette from eggs....


Here an exercise in comportment, vital for any up and coming young lady....


And here an exercise in overcoming self conciousness.....
They really are doing rather well... (under my careful supervision of course....)


Here a well received session is underway on dealing with foreigners....sign language; tips of the trade.

Well, I'm not one to blow my own trumpet, ( in fact I can't reach it).
But I have to say, from the results I've seen, these weekends are well worth my efforts, and d'you know, I've even come to enjoy them somewhat myself.
