Today was our last day working in the village. It was an incredible experience for the last four days to be there with the Mayans and the other Sienna Project volunteers. We worked very hard helping to build the school, clearing land for new homes to be built, and I also taught some classes to third, fourth, fifth, and sixth graders.
These people will remain in my heart even though I may never see them again. They are so happy, fun to be with, hardworking, and friendly! They worked beside us in everything we did and truly took responsibility for their new school. The children are beautiful, very open to learning and full of vitality and curiosity. The families seem close and supportive. I will miss them and am glad to have had the opportunity to get to know them and share their lives, if even for a short time.
