The parents of these children can be very proud of their accomplishment. The local workers were surprised at how hard working the students were and couldn't believe that they didn't take more breaks. After a little clean-up, we were done! We had a celebration at the site and handed over the building for the workers to finish the roof and eventually one more school group will finish the flooring and painting. The students played with the kindergartens in session and then bid farewell to Bao Village. One of the greatest parts of this visit was that the students never complained in the village. Even though they didn't have many of the comforts that they had in the hotel in Hanoi, they were all sad to leave and would rather stay there all stinky and dirty and without wifi then go back to Hanoi. Lesson learnt...
To all the parents reading this, your children came out of this with a different perspective from this short experience and you all should be very very proud of these fine young adults. The three teachers definitely were.
