Child: "Not much, we got to play games on the computer during free time."

OR

Sameera BK Thanks Leslie, Bob for your great ideas. I am now working on developing a good documentation of my work in the lab that will give a fair idea of what the children are doing here.

And of course, Neal - games out - simulation in!!

Thanks to all of you. Have a nice time!!

Sameera.
