Hello family and friends!
Just in time for our last work day the skies opened and the rains came. We all had cold soggy mornings but at the end of the day we completed all the work we had set out to do. Once again we split into two groups and one of them spent their day at a Lesotho save the children farm, and the other at a school outside of Morija. The weeding continued at the farm and also work on some of the green houses located there. At the school, work was completed on the playground as well as inside with the painting. Luckily by lunch the rain cleared up and the sun came out to help motivate us through the rest of the afternoon. The group at the school played a soccer game against a local high school boys team. The game ended in a 0-0 tie, even though the high school team tried to claim a goal that was "clearly offsides". It was a great cultural experience for all in attendance, including all of the fans that showed up to cheer on both sides! Meanwhile, the afternoon at the farm remained festive and productive. The group left the farm wet and dirty but excited and proud of what had been accomplished; with all the weeds gone work can now begin on the interior of the buildings which can be set up to be inhabited this coming August. Today was our last day of work, and we ended it with the usual group meeting before dinner which was concluded with a speech by Dr. Rosenberg. Everyone was touched by his words and greatfulness. Today was a great way to end our experience here in Lesotho and we look forward to our trip to Kruger and the remainder of our time here.
