We had an amazing day today. The students came from miles around the school to see the computers and the lab we set up. We spent time showing them basics, turning on the computers, showing them how to work all the Microsoft programs.
After this we quickly pointed them in the direction of solitaire -focusing on the necessary things.
The teachers hosted a debriefing meeting. This was one of the most humbling experiences of my life. The students who had come to see the computer lab all brought corn their families had grown. They shared their crops with us in an act of appreciation for what we had done. We sat around a table, the teachers and us eating this corn, laughing, and enjoying the company of each other. I was speechless. 
The kids all gathered at the school and we played games, laughing, arm wrestling, and taking pictures.
I honestly don't want to leave Sapa or the beautiful faces of those around us.
