Leaving on a jet plane

Today was the last day of the Academy. It was amazing. The teachers just kept taking our pics and taking our pics and giving us gifts. We were truly humbled. They have so little and yet they wanted to show their appreciation by giving us something. One lady apologized " just a little something" she said - it was a key chain with red heart beads. Another said something similar and didn't want me to open it in front of her. It was a pair of earrings which I promptly put on and showed her as she left how precious her gift was to me. One of the men kept laying his hand on top of our head - -I'm not sure if it was a blessing or what. We felt like celebrities after our photo op. :) Our flight leaves at 2 am but because of the time zones we arrive the same day we leave. :)
See y'all soon.
