As team two entered the final stretch, everyone worked at tieing up loose ends to get ready for the next team. Two more sections of floor slabs were poured which means we now have 5/18 of the floor completed in building two. The bricklayers, considerably more experienced than they were two weeks ago, made an admiral start on several walls of building two. In building one, most of the interior walls are now up to ringbeam height. One again, Ruth and Martin brought us a hot meal which we enjoyed while sitting on cement blocks. The atmosphere was more subdued today as many reflected on the significance of their work, the friendships made, and the inevitable termination of our time here. Soon enough, the end of the work day arrived, group photos were taken, many handshakes and well wishes were made, and yes, we fought to hold back tears as our matatu struggled to get us through the muddy roads.

Back at the TI compound, we enjoyed a good hamburger supper with many condiments. Then many of us donated our old work clothes to the TI staff, to be washed and distributed to needy folks in the area. Many team members volunteered to carry locally made crafts back to the states. These will be sold to raise funds for the many worthy projects TI is involved with. Team two, may you all be richly blessed for your service to mankind.
