Bad news!I didn't make the team for track (as I suspected).Good news!I get to practice with the official team even though I didn't make it. We are more divided into which events the official team is supposed to be doing. Most of the times I get to practice along with the team, but the coaches don't want the people who didn't make the team to be practicing in the official team's events all the time because it may get in the way of their training. So when that happens, the people who didn't make the team get to practice their own skills. So far, when I couldn't practice with the official team, me and two other girls practiced handing the baton to each other. I can't go to track this week as I am currently busy with a play, but I may continue next week.

Last week in Prison Babies, we visited the prison. It was interesting as the prison didn't look like a stereotypical prison. It generally looked like a normal area with houses. When we arrived at the women's ward we were warned about a couple of things such as discomforting smells and the sights of women sometimes bathing. I was a bit scared of what I was about to see after that. There was only a small section of the women's ward that looked like a prison, which was the entrance. But the rest of the place looked like a small normal section of Colombo. And to add to more confusion, the prisoners looked like completley normal Sri Lankan women as they didn't even have prison uniforms. Some of them even smiled at us. The children's area had their own little playground and even their own school. We mostly spent time with them in the playground and we got to see more babies that didn't come to our school. I helped them play on the see-saws but I couldn't really communicate with them as none of them knew english. However, at the end of our session I did get to carry this 1-year-old baby girl back to the nursery. Normally it's no big deal, but for me that was the first time ever holding a baby!
