Graduation...

Well we just finished the last day with the students... very sad to say goodbye... This trip has been an amazing experience... the kids in my class were younger, and they just tug on the heart strings... I'm hoping to have made some lasting friendships through this experience (with both students and teachers alike)...

Here are me and Eva... I showed you a pic of her the other day...
Eva hopes to be a foreign exchange student when she turns 16 (I think she's 13 right now) Isn't she such a doll? She has the most beautiful blue eyes...
Above is Eva with Becca, Matt and myself...

Then there is Sonia... She a little younger than Eva... Sonia was a little shyer, but as sweet as can be...
And here's a picture of our small group with the kids... we did have 5 kids, but two left last Friday... Martin, who's sitting down didn't want to have his picture taken... I think he was a little rebelious, but in the long run wanted to belong...

This me and Dona... She was also in the beginner class... we connected because we are both knitters... She was there with her whole family...
Here's a picture of Me, Donka, and Mary at the graduation ceremony... (Donka was with me when we were at Krakow). Mary and her connected and she's invited Mary to come visit her later when Mary moves here...
this is the beginner class singing "He's got the whole world in His hands" for the graduation... each class did a performance... it was amazing the talent and the English learned...
Well it's time to pack... this evening we're having a big end of the trip celebration with all the teachers from America... (Did I tell you that not only New Heights group of 30 was here... there were also others from Chicago, California and North Dakota... I think a total of 70 of us).. --Kim
