Last Days in Peru

Written by Brugh, In-Country Agent, Peru

Well, it was a great last week with the GapBreakers.

We had the last day with the group at the school today. It was a lovely sunny day and the school held a special ceremony for the group today. I am very happy to report that all the projects got finished with a couple of days to spare - everything looks great so the group should be very proud of themselves.

Of their own initiative, on Thursday, the group cooked a whole lot of "Australian food" (lamingtons, ANZAC biscuits, etc.) for all the kids at the school and declared their second-to-last-day "Australia Day". The kids loved the food and I heard many cries of "muy rico" (very delicious).

On the last day the school held a ceremony to say thank you and good bye. There was lots of dancing and hugs. Robert also gave a farewell speech in Spanish which was very impressive.

The included photos are of both of these days as well as their finished construction projects.

The group left this morning for the Inca Trail - I'm sure they'll have a great time.
