Hello everyone it’s Eliza !! <3
As of right now, we are all sat having our last supper (minus the wine) and Kate is filling herself with fried mushrooms so let us hope that she can still squeeze into her Sari. There is Sri Lankan music booming from the garden as we are soon going to partake in our farewell party, which is very exciting but also very sad as none of us want to leave, we have truly fallen in love with Sri Lanka throughout the course of these days that have just whizzed past. This morning we got up before our alarm, as per usual, and got struck with the realisation that this was our last full day. The team gathered at the table to eat egg hoppers that gave us just enough energy to pack which was quite a mission but I'm sure the Raby's will be glad to hear, that Ellie managed to clear her overflowing mountain of who-knows-what at the end of her bed. We made it to the school to meet our buddies in our dance/drumming workshop which allowed Charlie to unleash her inner dancer, which I can confirm, is brilliant. We continued to play some New Years inspired games, this included me splatting a water balloon onto Hatty's head and Ellie smashing a clay pot full of purple liquid. The day advanced with some lunch and then a trip to food city where we managed to buy multiple different types of chocolate biscuits and sweets for the flight. Next we painted pots for Buddi and Karu as a thank you gift which we will give to them tomorrow.
Update- the party is over and it was truly the most heart warming and fun event we have ever been to! After dancing endlessly with everyone, we all hugged our buddies goodbye which was emotional but was a great bonding moment for everyone.
Team 5 (AKA TBSLTE) cannot wait to see you all with banners in hand. Love you all xxxxx
