In typical NIRMAN fashion, Ben and my last day of work was not totally
what we expected due to seemingly random cancellation of class. Our going away
party was planned for the 16th (the day before we were actually
supposed to be done working) and that went really well! All of the grades from
the middle school and high school came to give speeches about me and Ben
(sadly, my 3rd and 5th graders were not in attendance)
and give us presents that they had made/bought. They talked about how friendly
Ben was and how I managed to “make even the most boring subject [history] interesting.”
Next, class 8 had thought of games for me and Ben to play like charades and a
dancing competition. We had cake, samosas, and “cold drink” (what they call
soda, regardless of if it is cold or not) to celebrate and got pictures with all
of the students and staff members. Even though we were sad to leave that day,
we thought we would still have one more day as employees of the school (volunteers
of the school? We weren’t paid…).
The next day, however, was another one of the seemingly countless number
of state/national holidays, and the school was closed. Don’t worry, Ben and I
went back a couple of times to say our real goodbyes to all of the people we
love there.
