Today was party day, a party for some of the other volunteers that were leaving that day and that was the last time they would see the kids. There were snacks and drinks as my little brother Cooper would say, and lots of Justin Bieber music... Everyone here loves him. We partied the entire morning and lots of the boys were doing break dancing moves, like spinning on there heads and jumping over their own legs. They were actually really good. Spent some time looking for the shy guys to tell them to come dance but they didn't listen they kept drawing or making origami. The entire morning was based on the party.
After the party we were all soooooooo tired, so we left and went to the VIP Sports Club where we all had shakes and a snack. We didn't bring any of the kids today, but we still had a good time we swam almost the whole time. at 1:45 we hopped back into the tuk tuk and drove back to the orphanage.
When we got there we were greeted and then back in the action. In less then one minute i was playing Frisbee with BONTI and a few others. The whole afternoon was a mix, we played Frisbee, soccer, climbed a tree about 20 feet up to look for more mango, then more soccer, and more Frisbee, and then keep away with the soccer ball. It was a full afternoon.
By 4:45 it was time to leave and all of us were upset to leave. We now are all thinking "We only have one day left with them... I dint want to leave". This trip has been life changing but has gone by so fast. I miss my friends and family but in a way i want to stay here and be with these kids. I think everyone in the group said this... When i first arrived i was not a huge fan of the bugs and the heat but now its normal, driving in the left lane with oncoming traffic is normal. it's like my real home in the trip and here is home... It's all backwards now.
I thank everyone who has supported me on this trip and everyone who is reading this, i hope you all one day get to experience what i have these last 2 weeks. It has been really amazing!
