Katie and Riley
Today was our last day with Sonrise and therefore a bit
emotional. When we arrived at the school we finished a plan for the Sonrise
students in order for them to do our projects once we left. After this, there
was lots of socializing and random games, including taking pictures of each
other and playing wax museum. Noon time came and we gathered for a
presentation. We watched traditional African dances, songs, and modern dance,
all preformed by Sonrise students. Somewhat spontaneously, we all (the Colorado
Academy students) got up and sang “Let It Be,” by the Beetles. Then, we all
clapped and sang “We Are Family,” and everyone, including the Sonrise students,
got up and danced and clapped with us. After Katie, Riley, Charity, and Susan
gave short “thank you” speeches, we began saying our goodbyes. This was by far
the hardest part of the trip. Many CA and Sonrise students cried but we all
were able to get through this hard part knowing that we would all stay in one
another’s hearts.
We were
thankful to have gone to the market after saying goodbye in order to clear our
heads.
