I spent the morning with my family and we left for Tajy where we had the Despidida and said our goodbyes. I already miss them!

Today was my last day in community and Andrea and I wanted to make the most of it. We had a list of things we wanted to complete before the end of the summer so we saved them all for the last day. We milked a cow and drove an oxen cart. Andrea's host mom let her kill a chicken and I cut the head off. We helped her prepare it too. I spent the rest of the day packing and spending time with my host family. We had a Goodbye Party and we said Bye to all the people we had met and worked with.

Today we had our last charla and we did an overview of important things the kids learned and played lots of games. I'm sad that I'm leaving in two days.

Today we started building the new fogon for the school and all of the kids were eager to help out. It was super hot so we drank a lot of Terere. We finished everything but the top and the chimney and we are going to finish tomorrow.

Today we planted the rest of our trees at the other school and began our CBI which is to build a school fogon. We ending up having enough materials leftover over from the other fogons to build the one at the school. Today we just worked on removing the old one.

Today it rained so I just sat around with my family, drinking mate and listening to the raindrops.

Today we built our last required fogon. The family recieving it has thirteen children! We finished everything right before there was an awful storm.

Today we planted about fifty of the trees at Las Mercedes School. We had each kid adopt a tree so now they're responsible for keeping it alive when we leave.

Today we built our fifth fogon and completed everything but the chimney before lunch. Elva was so happy she gave us thirty pineapples. Today is also friendship day in Paraguay and I received a fake rose and a card from my family.
