Lancy and Alex Bolhack- Day 10

Today, as it was Sunday, breakfast was served later so we were able to sleep in until 8. Soon after breakfast, we all hoped into the bus and picked up about 10 KF students from all three boarding schools. Then, one by one, we visited three homes before going to lunch. All KF students had their own touching story. One girl had been raised by her blind older sister who cared for 7 other children. In the early afternoon, we stopped for a quick lunch, and then headed off to see more families. We met the family of Merilyn, the student Hotchkiss sponsors. She has two sisters and was raised by her grandmother because her mother abandoned the family. Her story was emotional and very sad. Unfortunately, we were not able to visit all the KF families due to the fact that our bus broke down. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass the time in one of the KF student’s homes. Although this was a long, boring, and stressful time, we did get to know the KF students much better, the positive side of an otherwise bad situation. Finally, a new bus came (two and a half hours later) and brought us to the movies. We watched Night At The Museum 2 at the Arcades Mall. This was a great way to de-stress after the long day, and most people enjoyed the movie thoroughly.  Afterwards, we hung around Arcades for a while, buying some dinner, and then headed back to Chalo. It was late, so the girls went back to their rooms and soon after went to bed after a long and tiring day.
