Day 7

"When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like a sheep without a shepherd." Matthew 9:36

We had our daily morning devotions at 9:00 and headed staight to the Kaya Center where we presented the beautiful mural painting as a gift from Ana Yee and her friends. In addition to the painting, Ana also donated the $53 she and her friends raised for the children at the Kaya Center. The money was used to treat all the kids and staff to salteñas, a delicious Bolivian specialty which the kids rarely get to enjoy.

After salteñas and recess, we joined the kids in their chapel. We sang songs and a few of the kids acted out the story of the Good Samaritan which was entertaining to watch.

The physicians in our group spent their afternoon giving the all kids their annual physical exam. Meanwhile, the rest of the group spent their time reflecting on our trip and experiences.

We closed the afternoon back at the Kaya Center where we told them how much we appreciated their hospitality and exchanged our formal good-byes with the kids.

We ended our trip by going out to dinner to a popular local restaurant called Charlie Papas.

Tomorrow morning, the Yee's will be going back to the states, but the next Highrock group will be arriving. On Sunday morning, the Lee's will be returning home. And Tuesday morning, the Pu's will be retuning home.
