Our last day here. The team took time to reflect on our time here. We have all be touched by the kids, the needs of Pan de Vida, the extreme poverty of Mexico (we saw a great deal yesterday) and our time to grow from each other. Everyone is healthy again for our trip home tomorrow.
At church the team sang 2 songs. Rebecca and Sammy did a duet with guitar and flute. After lunch we will be playing volleyball, soccer and basketball with the kids. At 3:30 we will be going to the boys home for more interaction and supper.
It will be a difficult day saying goodbye to all the kids but we know that they are in a safe place that is looking after their needs thanks to all the generous sponsors including those that helped support myself. I can't express the impact your contributions are/will have on these children. Kids that have been abandon, abused, neglected now have a place they call home. A place that provides them with structure, education, hope and love. I can see why it's difficult for some to leave Pan de Vida when they reach legal age.
This concludes my blog. I have had a tremendous time of reflection, grounding and growth. I will return with a whole different perspective. If anyone wishes more details on my experience or what is happening in Mexico, I'd be happy to share with you when I'm back in Canada.
