FINAL DAY :(

Today was bittersweet to say the least. The whole team was able to be at the school after lunch for an assembly. The assembly was incredibly special for each one of the team members because the kids shared their appreciation for our visit by giving us letters and cards. We have been working in the El Progresso Community School all week by reading stories, creating crafts, and MANY GAMES OF CHASE! We did not expect to be rewarded, but it was nice to know that each one of us made a difference in these kids'lives. All of the letters were so sweet and not surprising after spending a week with these precious children and experiencing their love. Tears from all sides of the school grounds were shed as we said goodbye. We ended the day in El Progresso with half the team enjoying the river after a hot day. The rest were guided on a jungle tour by one of the villagers, Julio. We actually got to see Mayan artifacts still in caves where they were placed 1,000 years ago. Tomorrow we will be at the island debriefing the wonderful week we have just experinced.
