Last day working at the orphanage today. We are going to pop in on Thursday (our day off) to say goodbye but I think we are just delaying the inevitable as I reckon there will be tears and not just from the kids. We took easter themed colouring sheets and sweets for them.
We asked if we could take some photos of the kids as it was our last day and Matt (the other volunteer who works there) thought that they would agree but the head nun said no. We were really disappointed as we just want some pictures to remember them by. It might be an idea to get Matts email address in case he has more luck than we do and manages to get some.
Went to Bo's again for a couple of hours and then back to the house so Joy could have her afternoon nap!
It is Nanay Marlyns birthday tomorrow and we got her a little gift of a glass candle holder which we had to wrap in bubble wrap and brown tape as we didn't think to get any paper. Also found out that is tradition to get up at 5am to sing 'happy birthday' - I thought it was a joke!
