Well the work is over... What a two weeks it's been... Everyone has worked very hard to get the rooms finished on time...
Leaving the centre today, we had all the bedrooms & an office painted & cleaned, bunk beds repaired & painted, lights fixed, bed clothing replaced on all 120 beds, halls, stairs & facade painted, pressies left for all the kids, logos & designs on the walls & without a doubt left the place in a much better condition than we found it...
This week was great. On Tuesday, the deaf children that board in the school came to visit us & helped us with the work, we had gifts for all of them & smiles were the order of the day...
Without a doubt, one of the main highlights of the trip so far was today being able to vist the babies in the nursery part of the centre, we had not seen them up until today!!! Everyone enjoyed holding the babies & talking to them... It would melt the toughest of hearts!!!
We're off to Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow for a few days of R & R before we return home...
Thanks to everyone for the comments & emails, it's difficult to respond to them all, but they're all read!!! Will post more pics at some other stage...
