Of course, the very last day was soo sad. Our day did not start until 1 pm; thus, I spent the morning finishing my english lectures. At 1 pm, we went to lunch and had a great conversation. Then, we had a meeting with most of the volunteers at La Casa de Panchita and celebrated our last day with a cake. We all put in our last words and goodbyes. Blanca, the director of La Casa de Panchita gave us gifts--really cute silver necklaces. Next, we had a smaller meeting with just Johana, Blanca, Agota, and Ignacio. They asked us about critics and preparation advice for the group that Professor Doel wants to send next year. I talked about how I would like to see the kids come during the week and participate in more activities. However, this is really difficult because it requires more volunteers and more planning because they are already so many classes and events going on during the week. However, the Sunday activities are stil great for the kids. We really did not have any critics for La Casa de Panchita becuase I think we all felt that it is a great organization that is doing a lot to help people. The workshops and classes that La Casa offers is great! I felt so honored to work with an organization that is actually changing lives. I am going to miss everyone at La Casa de Panchita tremendously, and one day I hope to come back!!!!
