23rd was the day we were to present our projects. We had worked on the projects long and hard. Early that morning, we arrived at school to give little finishing touches to our presentations. Then at 11 a.m, we were told to assemble in the Art room. We sat there, excited and nervous at the same time, as the parents arrived one by one. Then the presentations began. Each better than the previous one, putting forward their point in their own way. Praises were received from the teachers and the parents. The parents left after, and we had lunch, followed by a feedback session. We were to write a general report about the entire program and also our opinions on teamwork and our peers.
Soon came the time for us to depart, and seeing that that was to be our last day together in school, most of us broke into tears. Somehow, we controlled ourselves tpwards the end and left.
Some of us went shopping with our partners, while some wanted to just rest at home and spend some quality time before they were gone for good. I took my partner to Secunderabad for some street shopping..
That evening, Nasr organized a farewell dinner, where we, our German partners and our families were invited. It was unanimously agreed that the theme would be Indian, so everyone was dressed in the most traditional clothes they had, with the boys in kurtas and the girls in salwars or sarees. Mr. Bruhn and Miss. Hutmacher, two of the German teachers spoke about how they had enjoyed their experience in India. Then a few students from Germany came forward and spoke about their time spent here too. One of them, Susanne, spoke a few lines in Hindi, thanking us all for the wonderful time that they all had in India. After dinner came the goodbyes again, and soon we were all on our way home to pack and prepare for their departure the next day.
