Farewells

April 10 

Today was “Our Day” which is the last day of the term, set-aside just for the kids. So they call it “theirs”. They brought their teachers an assortment of goodies- biscuits, pop, jewelry, chocolate, and since Basic 2 recently found out their Madams love donuts… plenty of donuts. Julie and I gave out our contact info, glow sticks, and a small photo album for each student. Everyone was running around, so happy and having so much fun, and then we had to say goodbye. Goodbye to the students, goodbye to the teachers. I avoided farewells by tricking myself into thinking that I’m not leaving for 3 more weeks. But who knows when I’ll see these people again.

Bittersweet. (Much more bitter than sweet).
