Today was our last day with the kids at Educando Para La Vida, the school we were volunteering at. We managed to finish our mural on the wall in time. The kids at the school prepared a little ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the mural. They also prepared a few songs for us.
We finishs off our VBS program with the kids today. They made each of us little thank you bookmarks and thanked us by giving little speeches. It was sweet and genuine and that was what made it so touching. We also visited one of the kids houses and were able to buy him new shoes, ice cream and food for his family since they barely has enough to scrape by. Each of these kids is so beautiful and unique. Yet what makes them all even more special is their ability to laugh and smile, despite their circumstances. I will never forget these kids. Let's say the tears flowed very freely today. Even though they are just children, they have taught me a life lesson I'll never forget. And now, off to Guatemala City for the weekend!
