Today, we had our last two hours with the British students here at Monkey Bay. After breakfast, we went to La Democracia and started to work. We drove up to the school, and see a slide getting worked on. We split up into groups, some working on sanding the sharp sides off the slides and adding a second coat of paint to the monkey bars and swing set. During the time of sanding and painting, George and I interviewed Mr. Garcia, the school principal. After, we all helped the kids with the computers again. After we helped them with the computers, we played with the kids, and helped pick up trash, and take pictures. We then left to go back to Monkey Bay to eat lunch.

Once lunch was over we went back to the village to finish the swings and slide. Those jobs were mostly for Chester and Luis so all of us played with the kids after their exams. Radiance and Irma sister of Radiance) also showed up and brought music for us to dance. Most of the afternoon was mellow and we basically played with the children and learned more about them. One game we played was standing in a circle with the children holding hands while music played. One person would walk around the cirle and where they stopped, they would dance with that person. It was so cute to see the little girls shaking their booties. We also got to see the kids enjoying the slide we built for them. They kept sliding and sliding and sliding. The line was so long to get on the slide, and they were so excited and happy. One girl, about the age of 13, slid down, and we could tell she'd never been down a slide before! Around 4:30 we went back to Monkey Bay and Mr. Corzine, George, Anna, and Chris all went to the river and swam, while all of the girls took showers and organized. Finally we had dinner and blogged.
