Day 15: The last day

Well we are actually back in the UK now, it is Monday and I am back at work almost recovered from the journey home. It is not the holiday that makes you tired it is the trip back as you get very little sleep.

Our last day consisted of formally opening the library and some tourist shopping for pressies.


It was great to see the classroom finished (almost), the mural was basically done although they still needed to finish off the monkeys. Even so it looked great. the girls did a great job and the school is looking forward to completely filling the bookshelves.




The ceremony wasn't as elaborate as at Nkwasangara. Peter indicated that this is because they have already had lots of work done at the school and as it is a boarding school people come from miles aroud rather than it being a community based school. Notwithstanding, there was a very nice ceremony and gifts for all. Even me and Ruth which I found amazing as we had only visited the school a couple of times.













We left the school and started preparations for our long trip home.

Whilst it is always nice to go home, we were sad about leaving. We have made what I hope are good friends and hope to keep in contact with them and return in future years.

It is a bit of a shock now being back, I keep expecting a mountain to peek through the clouds lol

I hope those who have read the blog have enjoyed out ramblings and maybe this has inspired a few folks to do something similar.

Love to all
Naomi
