SNOWblog.net: B-day

Yesterday it was B-day for SNOWblog. Big day because the first two classes were going to meet eachother for the first time.
They have been having contact through the web since quite some weeks, and know some basic stuff about eachother, now the real thing was there.
At 9.45 the bus arrived and the school of Kfar Kasem got off. The other school welcomed them, a little bit nervous.
We had planned activities and a meal where they could taste each others food. After that they would go home.
In the end the kids of Kfar kasem didnt want to go home and neither those of Genai. So they ended up playing basket and football with eachother. The teachers and directors watched and saw it worked.
I could tell you a lot of things about this day. I will keep it short.

This girl came to her teacher and said He Merav, today I made a new friend.

The only thing I could do that day was smile and smile non-stop.

We looked and we saw that what we had done was good.

I want to thank everybody that worked so hard to make this happen.
Gal, Yakir, Elana, Nasrim and Merav, and the kids that were so excited about it.
And the others that volunteered to help that day.
The directors of the schools, The BTC and the consulate.
And some I forgot.

Wow, it really happened.
