Day 11 - :-(

Sad day. We are finished at the school, but with all the planning we did to wrap things up, God had other plans.

We did get to meet with two of the classes, one per team, but then there was an incident in the town where the school is located. Government officials came to the campus and demanded that all the students be sent home. There was at no time any danger to us or the school itself, so we're guessing they just wanted to be cautious. Very opposite from what we would do in the states. We'd be on lockdown.

With kids gone, we waited and waited and waited for the time to tick by. We had our last parent training tonight at the church you can you can barely make out in the background of the picture.

The parent training was great and gave us a last chance to see some of the students that had to leave school early. We covered trainings on oral hygiene, preventing water contamination, and building a single bucket Sawyer water filtration system (awesome filters). We also sang some songs (with one of our Indian friends pictured) and loved on some kids with hugs and gifts.

Overall, pretty great day but also a bit bitter with goodbyes. We all are looking forward to seeing family and friends again, but it's still hard to leave when the work, friendships, and fellowships are blessings beyond measure.

We will never forget them, the students and staff and parents. They will remain in our hearts and prayers for a lifetime. Thanks be to the one that makes it all possible.
