Day 9 :)

Day 9 - Today we set off to go rhino trekking! After a long and bumpy 4 hour drive we finally got to the rhino sanctuary . We were accompanied by a guide who told us in fewer words that there is a chance of us getting charged at by the rhinos. We then drove for a short period of time to an area near the rhinos. Subsequently, we got off and walked a short distance where we found a baby rhino nesting next to his mother. As we walked on we saw other white rhinos in action. Luckily no one got skewered by any of them! It was a rare opportunity to see rhinos living in the wild and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We then made a trip to the busy tourist markets where there was a variety of things to buy. Everyone left with some items for themselves, family and friends. After a long day we then reflected on the whole week. Everyone agreed that it was impossible to pick one stand out moment as the whole trip has been a once in a lifetime experience. We have had the most amazing 10 days in Uganda and are very sad to be leaving all the wonderful people we have had the chance to meet this week. To conclude the night we did a vote to see who won The prize prat of the day (PPOD) award as well as the prize prat of the week (PPOW) award. The winner of the PPOD was Courtney for many reasons including all her slips and falls. The winner of the PPOW went to Chaz for being a goon overall :) 

Each and everyone of us have had an incredible journey which has affected our lives and the students of bright future school lives for the better! 

Our work here is done.
