Today, we had different activities like flexibility, contortions, diabolo, juggling and acrobatics. We were grouped according to our skills and it was a good way to learn more and new tricks.

We had difficulty to stretch our body during the warm-up and flexibility session, especially Marian who is not flexible, but she tried her best to split!

We had our feedbacking after lunch. Andrea said, "I find it hard to learn rola bola but I am trying my best. I realized that if you want to do something you really wish, do it with your heart."

In the afternoon, we continued our make-up session. This time, we learnt how to make up a clown! The make up artist showed us first on Mary Ann's face and then, each of us did make up our partner. The result was nice and funny! We enjoyed the activity.

" I am happy of what I did to Lalyn. It surprised me that I can do better make up in clown and I enjoyed it because it was like I was drawing not on a paper but on a face."-Juliene.

After this, we had the feedbacking for the first week of our stay here in Battambang, Cambodia with the PPS Art Director, Sothea (Program assistant) and Hieng (Circus training coordinator). All of us evaluated the first week of training and we expressed our concerns.

We went home earlier today since there was no circus show. We went swimming in the hotel's pool and enjoyed playing in the water...even it was still quite cold!
