Thursday June 19 - Last day with Sonrise


Thursday, June 19, 2014
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.
