Day 5

Today was a very anticipated day as it was our last day at the school. We began our day by shopping for souvenirs at the old town. We arrived and went down a street full of little souvenir shops. We were given the challenge of haggling prices with the locals for the cheapest prices. We bought presents for family and friends as a memory of our time in Mombasa.

Arriving at the school this afternoon we were given a huge welcome from the school as they were excited for our planned games. For the games we were divided into two groups. One group of people went to play games with the nursery school children, which were then split into even smaller groups, and the other group went with the slightly older students and split them into smaller groups. Then all of the children in their groups went around and played various games.

Next they had organized a group assembly where they sung us various songs and we created a mini talent show for them. Everyone sang and danced and we handed out some medals for the best singers, dancers and teachers. Then we came to saying good bye to the children.

When we all said goodbye, the children were quite upset. They were saying how they will miss us very much. Some wrote letters and asked for our emails, to keep in contact with us. Also, some of us became very emotional while saying goodbye to the kids. That was it for the trip and now, tomorrow morning we are leaving for the safari!
