Hello Parents, today, we had to say goodbyes to the lovely children at the school. Before that, we helped de-weed some more gardens. After the painful process of cleaning the garden was finished, the kids helped us repaint the rocks that surrounded the gardens. When it was time for learning, the kids sprinted to their classrooms and we followed. Here, we helped teach the kids English with songs, such as heads-shoulders-knees-and-toes, the abc's, and a few counting songs. When we transferred to the "big kids" room, a new type of teaching had to be used with a nice competitive game, the students had fun and learned at the same time. After the painful choice of who the winner was going to be, we had to say goodbye. Then, we shed a few tears and rested before a small hike to one of the Incan sites. We sat and looked at the view as we took 1,000s of pictures. Finally, we played a team building game where we had to stand up while back to back and had locked arms with another partner. After finally standing up with the whole group, we received the best gift that a person could ask for, ICE CREAM! Even though we still haven't gotten this sweet treat, this trip has been fun, inspiring, and overall amazing.
