Lights flashed by as we drove to the circus. We pulled up to the circus only to find happy faces smiling at us. Ana a sweet 4 year old came running up and gave us all hugs. We walked into a large tent with wooden seats. Within miutes dancers came out and started the show. Next the clowns were the best I've ever seen. When Ana walked out and performed she stole the show. She was lifted high into the air on a rope. When we left it was hard to say goodbye but I knew that I would see her again. Upon leaving I thought about all the great things that we had done for each child at the school and how happy it made them.
The sun rose up and showed its power by breaking through the clouds and shining down on the land. When we got to the school no students had arrived, but you could still feel the excitment in the air. As if right on que all the students came running to us squeezing us to a pulp. It felt as if you were in heaven with all the hugs filling you with joy. I went to the first deaf classroom and sat down. I was amazed by the kids intelegence and gracefulness in their signs. The way they could communicate was as if you were stepping into another world. I felt very embarased for not thinking that they were very smart.
After lunch I went to Jorge's room (trade skills room). He gave my a tour and showed me how each tool was used and how to handle it. Next he showed me the garden and told me about each fruit and vegetable. He picked a small round pepper and split it open exposing the inside. The smell was so fresh and sweet. The end of the day came and thats the hardest part. Saying goodbye to all the kids is hard knowing they might go home to a family that doesn't care about them. You hug them tightly knowing you'll see them tomorrow.
