We are going back to the village primary school in San Sả Hồ for the last time and they will be holding a farewell party of a sort for us. Upon arriving, the students are assembled in the parade square. Our last bit of work this day was to clean up the assembly area in preparation for a time of games, songs and fun. The games which kickstart this party come with prizes of biscuits we bought for this occasion. A H'mong boy and girl came to perform their traditional musical instruments; The boy a pipe of a sort, the girl a bronze mouthpiece of a kind.
We then put up a performance, a little something we learnt from all the campfires we have attended from our CCAs.We then teach them musical chairs as part of our contribution of games to this farewell party . After this minor celebration and after the students have left, the teachers and us sit down to a cup of tea before we leave in which we have a mutual sharing session of our thoughts over the days we spent doing the Residential Project. Before we leave the school for the last time, the teachers wish us goodbye with many gestures of gratitude which was really quite touching . Since we started working at the school on Day 5 to this day, we had developed a sentimental link with it. With great reluctance we said our goodbyes. We had definitely been enriched in our sympathies for things.Tonight, we will be taking an overnight train to Hanoi
