Last day at work

posted under by Team Peru Denmark
Yesterday, we arrived at Mama Cocha full of energy to work on the painting we had started the day before. We finished painting the walls of the courtyard, which immediately brought life to the place, as it was bare and a bit dull before. It is amazing what a bit of bright-colored paint can do!

After a morning of hard work in the heat, we had a surprise celebration, organized by Suzy, the kids and the staff at the center. They gave us a huge cake that said “Gracias, Team Peru” and handed us certificates for our contribution. We presented them with pictures that the PYP children had drawn, and gifts for the center, such as clothes, stuffed animals and equipment for arts and crafts. We enjoyed the kids’ company and expressed our appreciation towards the staff for putting so much energy and dedication into the center.

When we got back to our amazing beach house, we had a barbeque with Suzy and the Kiya volunteers to celebrate all the effort we have put into Mama Cocha. Although we are very proud of all the work we have put into the center over these past eight months, we are determined to keep supporting this project. In the two days we were at Mama Cocha, we made some amazing connections with the kids and it was incredible to see how we made it possible for them to be happy and have a positive future.

Today, we are processing all our thoughts and experiences of the trip, as there is a lot to take in. It has been an eye-opening experience for everyone.
