Day 8
Today was a different day. We started off with a room check and the cleanest room got to go to the market and get things for the orphanage and for themselves. Sadly our room was not the cleanest so we got to go to the orphanage and start cleaning. First we had to clean the stage then we broke in groups. Mallory and I did the adults bathroom, Bret and Alex did the kids bathroom, and Ava got to clean the tables. As soon as the other group got back we had just finished.
Then all of us went to the pig pen and picked up the remains of the roof that they just took down. With the wood from the roof they cut them in half and used ten of them to fix the fence because the orphans hung their clothes on the fence and it was collapsing the fence in. There for we had to prop up the fence with that wood.
Then Lunch.
After lunch we had a water fight/ slip and slide. They had a huge tarp and we had the water fight on that then some of the orphans dumped the soap on the tarp.Kids were sliding across, some were throwing the water on the tarp, and all of the others were staying dry.
For the last thing that day we did every ones nails. All of the girls wanted their nails painted but then all of the boys did not so we forced them to do it and they ended up liking it except Niron. I painted his nails and all of his friends were saying," Your such a girl." So he just wiped it right off.
Then back to the hotel to change for the Olympic stadium. We first had to walk up a huge hill to get in then we ran down the stairs to the track. We had to walk to the other side to find the entrance. Then Bret and I ran 2 and a half laps then we had to go and do the aerobics. That was so fun yet so hard. We were all laughing and having a great time. Then Bret and I went back to the track and ran 2 miles. That was a great way to end your day
My journey is one day shorter but I have so much that I learned.
Here is a quote that i liked for today," What would it be like if you lived each day, each breath, as a work of art in progress? Imagine that you are a Masterpiece unfolding, every second of every day, a work of art taking form with every breath." By Thomas Crum
Day 9
Today was a really fun but sad day. It all started off with us arriving and Bret and Alex said," We are going to finish the roof." Then we got there and they had already finished the roof. So we had to clean it so the pig would not get sick. So we were all in the pig pen cleaning and Li decides he is going to spray Alex and clean him off as if he was a pig because he was on his hands and knees. Then Alex got a hold of the hose that we just put and and he sprayed Li. Li was not expecting the water being sprayed in his face. Then we all realized that they had finished installing the running water so we all went to the places that there was running water and those places were the 2 bathrooms and the 2 Kitchens. We were all so happy and all of the kids were so thankful. Then we got to play with the kids for the rest of the day. Except for when the pig came. It was a girl pig and we named her Lola. She was a FAT pig and looked so healthy. Lisa-Marie picked the right pig.
One of the games that we got to play was ooooooooooooooh. That is a game where you have to say ooooh until you get back to your line and you have to tag the other kids. Meanwhile the other line is trying to capture you. How you win is you don't stop saying ooooooooh until you tag some one and make it back to your line. We played that for a while and then all of the kids tried to teach us their dances. I could not figure out the dance so they took me out of the dance. But the good part of that is that I got to get lots of pictures. That was probably the best way to end the day. Until I heard that today was the last time I will get to see Srey Pi. And Until all of the kids were saying," By, See you Tomorrow." I kept thinking to myself that is the last time I can say yes to that question. Just thinking that almost made me cry, Tomorrow I will be balling my eyes out because that will be that last time we will see them. Unless we get to come back.
One day Left at the orphanage and I wish that i could have spent more time here helping the kids out. One more day into my journey but one less day to overcome in my journey.
This is a Quote That I like for this trip," DO IT NOW! Today will be yesterday tomorrow." by E. C. Mckenzie.
