I didn't imagine it to go by as fast as it did. The girls had their first full week of 30 hours worth of work, and then 10 hours that include language lessons, activity planning, and transport. Journalling is something they're suppose to do by themselves as well. I've been keeping track in my leader journal/report as well as my personal journal.
We had a great Dim Sum dinner and a movie on the last Sunday. Well..okay so priorrrr to this, we took a stroll down Pattaya 2nd road and low and behold, we find Maddog Tattoo, and yes, I have a bamboo tattoo. It looks wicked and it says "family" in Thai. He did an amazing job and I have footage of it as well.
The girls got me a kickass key chain for a gift, and an awesome card. I'm sad to leave them, but also very confident in their abilities, and it's their time now to shine and to try new things in terms of their activity planning and implementation. We are so fortunate to have 11 different organizations to work with, each with a unique population of students, and children.
I'm off to Cambodia now, to visit the children from last year. This year the students are only visiting 4 places instead of 5 since one place has now turned into a "tourist orphanage" and didn't really need us to do play activities with their children since they need more funds than play time.
