Today was our last day in Rwanda. As we joined for breakfast there was a bitter sweet feeling among the group and we prepared for our final day of visiting schools. Today we went to the Excel Private School. It was a totally different experience than the other schools and orphanages that we have visited. It was very clean and all the kids were relatively healthy. As we entered the school we were once again greeted with the loving and smiling faces of young children. We got a tour of the facility and then split into groups to play with the kids. We played soccer, tag, sang songs, and put on plays for the kids till lunch. For lunch we had rice with beans which was very good. After lunch a band came and played for us and the kids, they surprised us by asking us to sing songs as well. We scrambled and finally came up with a few songs to sing. It was an amazing experience and I can speak for everyone when I say it was very hard to leave.
