And so at last we come to the end: Today was the last day of the project and our last at Azul Wasi. WEve been working furiuosly this past week in order to get ll of our work finsihed, but it was certainly worth the effort. We got the bathrooms ttlly finsihed, connected he sinks to the water supply, and build the chicken run so the boys can get their own fresh eggs.

I really feel that weve made a difference in our six weeks in the orpahage, and that now it is a better place for the boys to grow and develop and eventually get an education sufficient to lift them oput of poverty and give them the quality of life we in the west take for granted. Of course in the grand scale of things, six weeks is not a very long time, but even so I feel that by concentrating on maintainace and repair work, and small project which will provide the greatest benefit to th boys, we have managed to spend our time efficiently and to a real, tangible benefit.

Leaving the boys was sad. Its had t sum up six weeks of knowing someone in only few words, especially when you know that ypu aren likely to ever see tem again. Despite this we said our goodbyes to some f te hardiest and most special kids I have ever had the privvilage of working with earlier today. And I wish them all the very best in everyting they attempt and that they may have a very bright fuure.

Finally I would like to thank all of those kind and generous people back home who donated money to tis poject. I would also like to thank the Cairncastle Community Association for their orginisation of a fundraising event. Without the support of everyone who contributed, I would not have been able to come out here to Peru, and rry my best to help these kids, so thanks you all, very much.

So this is the end of my six week blog. i hope you have enjoyed reading of my experiences, (I certainly enjoyed doing and writing about them). Thanks again for your support and I will see ou all soo.
