Last Day at Molepolole Library!

Hard to believe that the ten weeks is coming to an end. We spent the last day at the library going to Anne Stine, the center for mentally disabled children. It was nice. The kids are always so excited to see us! We played with the learning toys for a bit and then watched a video of traditional Botswana dancing and music, a lot of the kids really like dancing. Unfortunately, Max wasn't around during the morning, and there was no special event to mark our leave. There wasn't even electricity today so we couldn't enjoy tea time with the staff. Yesterday we bought some plastic chairs as a gift to the staff for the break trailer. They are always sitting on little wooden chairs from the children's room, so we thought it would be a nice gift that everyone could use.

Also yesterday Professor Mnjama came to give us our final evaluation. We had a nice opportunity to review what we had accomplished during our time here, and also our thoughts and suggestions for future internship programs.

Tomorrow BNLS is having a party for us and our host families. We've finally received confirmation of our travel plans up north, so we've also got to stop by the travel agent and pay for our trip. I am so happy that after two weeks of uncertainty the trip is going to work out.

Tonight I'll just spend packing up my stuff and saying my goodbyes to Molepolole.
