7/5/13
Unbelievable. It’s all just unbelievable. Unbelievable that our time is up. Unbelievable that we’ve seen the things we’ve
seen. Unbelievable that the world as we
knew it is just the same as we left it, and yet everything will seem different.
We woke up this
morning for breakfast, and afterwards, we had a meeting with our whole team, David’s
whole family who was still in Gitega, and Robert and his wife Salome. We talked about what went well, what went
poorly, what we could do better next time, and what we definitely need to do
next time. After we’d finished that, all
of the Africans who served us during our time here were given a gift and a
short speech of thanks. After that, the
teens were dismissed to write letters of thanks to our sponsors while the
adults talked about “other things,” I was never told what. When they were finished, we packed all of our
bags and had lunch. After lunch, we
loaded up the vans and drove back to Bujumbura.
On the way, there was a semi that had overturned on a curve, and later,
we stopped very suddenly for Felicité to fill up a jug with water. It’s hot in Bujumbura compared to
Gitega. Our plane leaves at two thirty
tomorrow. Part of me wants to go back to
Gitega. Not all of me, though. I just can’t believe it’s over so soon.
