The end of the beginning

Today was my very last day of work at CCD. The morning was a usual friday morning at FF babies home. We did some activities and played with the kids. My last few days here have all been a bit mixed up with us visiting the Logos Hope ship, having a sports day and cleaning the whole day care centre so I hadn't seen the children for a little while.

It was so great to see how much they have changed. One of them was walking and running everywhere when he had only been able to take a few steps the last time I saw him, another child was really focussed on all the activities rather than his usual 5-10 second attention span, and some were feeding themselves or just interacting and playing. It was so good to see (I had my little proud mum moment just cause I was able to see all the development that has happened over the past 3 months).

After lunch at the Blind School (which is where we have lunch every day), we had a leaving party for me. This involved:

Watching a DVD of a collection of photos taken

receiving a large poster print of a picture taken while I was here...

Receiving and wearing a floral headband, necklace and a nice sash saying 'thank you'
Oh, and getting a certificate and reference letter...

taking lots of photos...

...

... eating lots of food and trying not to cry.

So officially I am finished for CCD and it's not long before I head back home. I have had an amazing time working for CCD. I have met some amazing people, worked with some beautiful children and have some amazing memories. That is not to say that anything is finished yet. In fact I think that my adventures have just started...
