Today was the final full day of us going to the camp. In the beginning, we weren't too sure how everything would go down or if anybody would even show up. If it was just about the number of people that showed up everyday, then it would've been considered a success. If it was just about what English we were able to teach them, then it would've been considered a success. If it was just about how much we laughed and played bingo, ( they really like Bingo!)(I'm pretty good at calling out the numbers!) then it was a total success. But it was all of those things and more. It was learning where they are from, who they left behind and why. It was about taking the time to show them you cared and wanted to hear their story. It's kind of a bummer writing this right now. It's a little after midnight and I know tomorrow is going to bring a lot of pictures a lot of laughing but a lot of tears and sad goodbyes. I feel that we have poured a good foundation and just pray that the next group can continue where we left off. Bingo will never be the same!
