I mentioned previously that there is a tradition at the "Home Base" (where all the volunteers live) in Cartago of leaving behind your "handprint" on the wall. Well we added ours too but opted for the family mural as most groups do something like that:
Ours is in the bottom right. The Huish Family was the family with 4 girls who was staying with us. Great people and it was really fortunate that we could share this time with them as the experience with kids is a bit different then what the others experienced.
As most of you might guess, this is Stine's work - I probably could have pulled off a handprint...it would have been smudged. Anyhow, most people have some very poignant quote but we thought "why not" summed up our experience in a broad way..
Luke decided to do his own artwork (surprise, Luke wandered off to do his own thing!):
We did enjoy getting to know all the other volunteers to - a great mix of people from all over the US.
Finally, on Friday night we decided to go out for dinner...but as we were getting ready - we found Luke in the kitchen with Dona Olga getting a special dinner:
Like father like son...

Very cool mural drawing Stine. Beautiful. Ah, it must be sad to leave those sweet kids. Can't wait to see what else you guys will do. How many days do you have left?
