Last day

Today was the last day of work. Unfortunately, it was quite slow and the power was out, so there wasn't much we could do.

Thankfully, we ended up returning to the Anne Stein school for disabled children to play with the kids and say goodbye. That was a little easier than the first time, maybe because we knew what to expect. A little boy in a wheelchair was talking to me, and i heard "maitse." I said, "maitse?" And he said, "Ee." So I told one of his teachers that he needed water. She said, "That boy is a problem. He has attention deficit disorder. Just ignore him." I was shocked, but there wasn't much I could do. I shrugged apologetically at the kid.

Max was gone virtually all day, so we left his gifts on his desk. Just as we were getting ready to leave, he showed up. Wow! We're supposedly having a party tomorrow at BNLS. Headquarters is arranging transport for Kgosi and Mma Kgosi, but not for us, so we're still trying to figure out how to wrangle our bags onto the bus.

Then we said goodbye to the staff, which was pretty quiet. A quick goodbye and hug and off we went. That was the anticlimactic end to 10 challenging weeks! Hard to believe.
