Day 11

Hello, its Amanda
Today was our concluding workday. We made great signs and got to see them put up. Our WHS sign looked great with our names on it. This sign was painted directly on the side of the concrete floor we worked on. We hope whenever the children play soccer, they would see our sign and they would remember us. 

Hello, its Kallie,
After our work concluded we had a community celebration at the school. Each grade put on a little show for us! It was a lot of fun and after that we performed the ChaCha Slide and danced the Macarena. We ate tamales and empanadas that all the village women made. We grabbed our bags from our homestays and had a very tearful goodbye. The people of Las Vinas have really left a lasting imprint on my heart. Next we headed to Tikal. We stopped at a lake and went swimming. The water was so warm and nice. We arrived and settled in and I took my first warm shower of the week! It was an amazing day!

A message to my family,I am having so much fun and can't wait to see you soon. I love you.
