T-Minus 2 Days

Today we walked back to the work area to complete ourfencing project.  It has been a difficultweek, for there has been a lot of our work time being used up by hardrainstorms.  In the beginning of the weekI don’t believe the students cared much, but I know they were disappointed thatwe couldn’t see the completion of the project. We ended up going back to the Chilamate Eco-Retreat to complete theWorld Leadership education.  It rainednearly all morning and we were worried that we wouldn’t have an opportunity togo zip lining.  After a small bus trip,we arrived at the location and it stopped raining.  The kids had a blast.  They rode the lines across the river andthrough the rainforest. 

Tomorrow will end our amazing trip studying the rainforestand helping a community in the beginning process of making a communityeducation building.  We will go raftingin the morning and have some family time in the afternoon.  After talking to the students they are facinga bittersweet moment.  I know will misstheir homestay families, experiences, the group, and most of all Javier (ourWLS leader).
