Today was a very special day for everyone at the care village. It was our final trip for our Wednesday group. The children were very excited to visit their older friends and the whole day was spent working together reading stories, drawing, making cards, threading and building using our construction materials. As the day came to an end, we sang our very special song, ‘You are my sunshine’. Everyone joined in and it was a great way to end the day.

As we left and said our goodbyes, there were lots of tears but these tears were not tears of sadness but of love. Our older friends will miss this group of children immensely as connections and relationships have formed. This has been a very special year to be part of this amazing project and everyone is looking forward to our new groups of children who will begin visits in September.
