Weeks -1 and… 0!

Hi folks!

This last message will be rather short, since we will need all our time to pack our stuff and to clean up our room today.

Last week, we organized our last reading sessions. To make the story of ‘Peter Pan’ even more attractive, we made our own audio book and created a big board game. The children were not the only ones to have a lot of fun – we really enjoyed it too!

  

 

After that, we visited the ‘Museo Inka’, a beautiful museum about pre-Inca civilizations, the Inca culture and the impact of the Spanish conquest on these cultures. We also had some salsa lessons and went dancing twice in Cusco. Finally, we spent a lot of time on buying our last souvenirs and on finding stuff for Urpi Sonqocha with the money that Jasper’s sister so generously donated.

 

This afternoon, we had to say goodbye to the children. Even though we gave them a lot of presents (a basketball hoop, a basketball, Twister, 12 Disney movies, pictures of ourselves with the children, tissues and candy), and even though Liesbet and Sadith had decided to organise a small party so that they would not get too sad, it was not the easiest day for us. Some of them started to cry and others wouldn’t let go of us. Saying goodbye is never easy, certainly not after five months…

 

 

 

Tomorrow, our plane leaves at 15:20p.m. If everything goes as planned, we will land in Zaventem on Saturday, at 18:30p.m. local time!

See you all very soon!
