Day 8:
Next, we all descended downstairs for the poster making task of the final day. We presented the resources the teachers could use and explained they had to make posters which refer to lessons they teach. My group made a poster for their class on naming animals in English and Hindi. We decided to draw a big butterfly, which I outlined and they coloured it in eye-catching colours. Other group did fruits and mechanical machines. We then did subject specific mentoring for the last time and began the gift ceremony. We gave the gifts we prepared earlier to all participants and gave separate gifts to the Head Teachers. It was not expected or planned, but they presented us with gifts too. I received bangles and a scarf from a Teacher in my group. We took lots of photos and sat down for lunch outside for the last time. I had my last few cups of small spicy tea and sat in the sun with the group.
When we had finished eating, we got changed and said out sad goodbyes. We then got changed and sadly said our goodbyes. Once I hurled my luggage downstairs, our tut-tut was waiting. Its engine was already jerking and booming. Once we had stopped for gas, and got back on the road, we reached the train station where we met the rest of the group.
