As the time is dwindling here at Liberty, I am getting closer and closer with these children. Therefore I anticipate that saying good bye to them in five days time will not at all be easy. I have a feeling that Claire and I will need to use plenty of tissues on the airplane. In the meantime today was another awesome day. It started out with the usual, breakfast and walking them to the school bus. Then, we were able to paint some more. The best thing about this experience is we are able to make our own journey. No one is barking orders at us telling us what to do. However, we have still helped constantly where we possible could have for the past ten days. So today we painted over some cement in front of the dining hall. It looked really nice when it was all finished. We did several coats as well. Then we took a much needed lunch break.
After that we went to the preschool. Once again I am observing how far behind these kids are at age three and four. It is very concerning and I wish there was something I could do about it. However, I am just a volunteer so I can only help out where I can. I taught the children several concepts. Then, it was time for the kids to come home from school. I helped some with their homework and projects. I also met a couple who came to visit for a day who were from Miami. They were really cool and they played basketball with me and some of the older kids at the home. My basketball moves weren't shown through as much today, but I will get it back tomorrow. After hours of playing in the heat, it was time to eat dinner with the kids. After that Claire did aerobics and I sat out tonight. I showered and then blogged and logged about another wonderful day here at Liberty. Since our time is coming to an end here, we were given a questionnaire to fill out. So then I filled out the questionnaire. I am looking forward to our last few days here at Liberty Children's home!
