Did we make a difference?

Today was our last day and it was fun, but sad. We played outside all day by doing field day activities – soccer, basketball, hopskotch, ring toss, hula-hoop, four-square, tug-o-war, and water balloon toss. We played outside in the afternoon, as well as crafted friendship bracelets, gimp lanyards, and God's eyes. We bonded so much that it was really difficult for all of us to say goodbye. Many of the kids just walked away mad. I guess they've had so many highs and lows in their lives that they've learned to deal that way. Mr. Harrison, the Manor's director, said that we made a difference and that these children will remember us the rest of their lives. We hope to return next year.
