Day 12: The Last Sprint

“I’ll bite myself.” – Hieu
With only 3 full days left, we thought about just sliding by. We had accomplished two components – environmental awareness and leadership – with the workshops, Green Training, and the panel for Environmental Awareness Day. It was very tempting to just leave it at that. But with these 3 days, we realized that we can achieve so much more. We have already envisioned how we were going to secure the sustainability component of our project. Today is a test of whether or not we will take that extra step and tie every single loose end. We can’t do everything. Nevertheless, we had to do our best.
Today was even worst then before. We said goodbye to both Brian and Hung this morning. Both of them departed early to catch their morning flight. It was sad to see the newest people leave us only after a short time together. But their presence and contribution to PV09 is much appreciated. We said farewell to two team members but hello to the new challenge awaiting us.
We came to the school for our second day of preparations with the students. They have not lost their excitement and dedication towards a successful Environmental Awareness Day. They worked hard on their arts and craft project.
