Final day at Acholi, by Danny, Kacy and Jack

Today was the last day of the trip. Emotional but fantastic and exciting.  It was great to see the kids but sad to see them for the last time after an enjoyable week teaching them and having fun.  To start the day of we did Maths and English like every other day and it was good to see what they learned this week.
As we went through the week we saw the children improve sooooo much; it made us feel proud that they had learnt new stuff from us and they will go away with extra knowledge and hopefully continue to learn throughout their lives and make new friends.
The activities were fun, dancing and singing all around. We learned a lot from them which will impact us a lot as well as we have impacted them. We taught them Gangnam style and they taught us a dance and sang to us, we had a lot of fun and we will keep memories of them for the rest of our lives.
 I think this week it has opened our eyes massively; we will live our lives in a different way and treat them with more respect unlike before hand. 
For the second group in activities the older ones sang to us and showed us a dance and the younger group sang a different song which was good to see and was fun to hear the kids sing.
They were all soooo excited to see us everyday this week and we enjoyed seeing them turn up everyday.
It was sad to see the kids leave and sad to see them crying because we have left. We will keep them in our hearts like they will keep us in there hearts.  Going away from the kids is heart breaking but going away and knowing that they have learnt something from us is a life long achievement for all of us.
I think coming out here is amazing and I think if we had the chance again the team will do it! Thank you Uganda for having us!

P.s Happy Birthday to Maddison from Rosie
