Week 4 of Zimbabwe 2012

Our last week in Zim was bittersweet, we were excited about the fun week ahead and I was anxious to see my friends and family, but we had created a new family on the farm and would be sad to leave them behind.
We decided our last week in the schools would be spent passing out all the books and supplies we sorted. At each school we asked all the teachers to join us in their school courtyard, we then brought out all the books and supplies, explained them, allowed them to look through them, then took a picture of the teachers and some kids holding the books and supplies. Abby and I also gave each of the teacher's in the Grade 0 and Grade 1 classes the books my 5th grade students at my school made (see my original post here). We both used the books in all the classrooms and left 2 books in each classroom we worked in. Since everyday looked the same at pretty much every school,  below are some pictures of our huge pass out!

After dropping off a ton of supplies our hearts were full. When we started our trip, we never would have been able to guess how perfect the timing would be. We loved sorting through all the books and then getting the wonderful opportunity to pass them out. This summer was a great summer of wonderful experiences for Abby and me. Thank you so much to the people who generously gave money for us to use on supplies and for the thoughts and prayers we received during our time away. Hope we can do this again next summer!
