Our last day at Missionaries of Charity. As we gathered with all the other volunteers to be sent out they sang a song to us 'we thank you with all our hearts' an emotional moment for we have loved serving these lovely people alongside the sisters and other volunteers - friendships grow quickly out here. We did similar to other days but with more confidence, finding communication without language is something you learn. Fiona had a great idea and took bubbles into the disabled children's group - they were really excited about them. It is interesting that there are few toys or things to entertain at each centre, we don't know why.
It was sad to finish at our various centres, this work is so good and gives value to the poorest of the poor who would not survive if they were left ignored on the streets. We came to know them as beautiful people made in the image of God, special individuals with a story to tell and love to give.
