Today was an intensely emotional day. Even though I know I am coming back to this school and these kids in ten days, it was hard to say our goodbyes. We painted a school mural with the help from each student (I'll post photos one of these days...) It was a great collaboration experience.

Once we finished, it was time for the games. We taught the kids to play ultimate frisbee, and they loved it! It's wonderful to see something so simple bring two worlds together to become equal.

We were able to informally chat with the students and get to know them. There's so much that you want to do/feel for these kids, but there's only so much that you can do to help. Life is extremely difficult here compared to life in the States. The kids have to be strong, they have no choice but to persevere or perish. Unexpectedly, they are the most positive and hopeful people I've met. These kids have so much hope and potential to make something of their lives.

It's very humbling. Makes you appreciate everything you have back at home. A roof, a bed, a family, clean water, food.

I wish there was something more that we could do. As of now, all we can do is to show them how much we love them.
