Day 5 - Closing ceremony

Final day of the construction! This day we only got two hours to finish the last arrangements of the house.

This day we only had two hours before the closing ceremony. We were expecting the entire community to join us, as well as journalist from local news channels.

We got split into two groups, one that would focus on the last arrangements of the house, and another one that would focus on the cooking.






The ceremony, was beautiful, it started with the girls of the community performing a dance.



Later, it moved on with a prayer, afterwards we had some welcome words of the Community's chief. The ceremony had Abang as host where he explained in Sesotho and English the work Habitat Lesotho does in the communities. As part of the ceremony, we had the grandmother and Habitat's Senior Project Officer sharing some thoughts of the whole experience. And last but not least, Julie as representative of the whole group, gave her thoughts of the whole week.



The whole group was very pleased with the experience, and after the ceremony ended, we exchanged some hugs and photos with the community. After lunch it was time to go, and move to Maseru.


During dinner we realized we actually made it into national television!
