Day 8 - October 8th

The day for the final presentation had finally come.  The presentation was going to happen after supper so we had the morning and most of the afternoon to put the final touches on things.  Things were a little busy during that time but that's alright.  


After supper we started the presentation.  This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip because of the reaction of Painito and Rose and others in the room.  They have had this dream for a ministry for several years but it's only been a dream.  They've never had anything tangible to look at and see that their dream was becoming reality.  That was until tonight.  When they first saw the renderings of what their dream could look like, their faces lit up.  Smiles became infectious at that point.  For the volunteers that had been working on this campus for the last five days, nothing seemed new to us anymore.  But after seeing their faces, I couldn't help but smile along with them.  The presentation went off very well.  Here is a picture of Kevin, our project trip leader, presenting.
