Evan finished up some music recording this morning, we did our employee reviews, tried to fashion a water balloon launcher, played capture the flag and Janet went to school to pick up reports on each students performance this term. She was so excited when she returned home to have heard that everyone was improving. Their improving English language skills and getting used to the classroom setting has finally begun to help them catch up and many are placing in the top 20% of their class...some higher. Judith continues to be #2 in her class.
We have "last day" traditions. Field games in the morning and swimming followed by ice cream in the afternoon. It was a day full of squeals and laughter, grins and "swimming costumes". I believe the pictures say it best...and since I'm up later than another living soul in the hotel...I might have enough internet to get this posted.

They finished strong and nobody will forget Chayah Mission Trip 2015 |
Final moment "traditional run after the van" once we say goodbye and it drives away packed to the gills with children and a piece of our hearts. |
