The last post...

And so we have all arrived home safe and sound. Well done to all the pupils and staff for working so hard and so well together to make the trip such a memorable adventure!

Flying home...








We had a smooth 10 hr flight from Kigali to Amsterdam. We are all feeling somewhat tired but excited to be nearly home!

In Schipol we enjoyed some fresh pancakes and tea - Yum!










Before we left...

We had to relive the fly swatting safari before we left in order to fully recover from the trauma...

Bus driver and cleaner - goodbye!

Among the friends we bade farewell to were our bus driver and our cleaner - both of whom had been very good to us during our stay.







Sharing a goat!

We had a fabulous last lunch at the centre today. Delicious goat brochettes, bananas in peanut sauce, salad, potato skins, pineapple and watermelon. We also shared some Fanta together to celebrate our time here:













Dance championship!

There was a dance off at the CMF children's party yesterday. Leo was the star performer and he won hands down!




Well done Leo!
