Today was bittersweet for the volunteers working with the pre-k students. Some of the girls played with my hair for a good bit and then had lots of fun at the creative center dressing up. We took tons of pictures for our mission scrapbook back home, and the Fortress kids loved posing for them. It was probably the most fun and behaved day, but it was also the last day we’ll get with the children. L Tomorrow is the field trip and these students aren’t participating this week. It was so sad to see them leaving.
After seeing the youngsters off, it was time for centers with the older students. This went fairly well and we got to trace outlines of some of the students on the ground. The outlines later came to represent Abraham and Sara. Overall we had a really good day. The kids were slightly wild but enjoyable nonetheless.
