Wed 23. Feb

This is our last full day in here! I'm relieved to get out of here, I need good night sleep and my own privacy, but I'm also sad to leave all these amazing friends.

I have done Sar-El program two times successfully before, but this time it was frustrating to hang around with same people 24/7. There is no nice way to say this but from some people I wanted more and from some people I wanted less. You figure it out.

Our work station was locked up couple of times today so we had time to enjoy the sun. It was +27 and my face was all red. Pretty.

Representant from Sar-El organisation came to say few words and thank us for our devotion. He told us there is 40 army bases in Israel taking Sar-El volunteers, but these bases do change from time to time. Sometimes there is nine bases open for volunteers, sometimes twenty. Some bases take few people, some take dozens. Some bases are easy and nice, some are rough and hard. Some bases are suitable for older people, some for tough and strong youngsters. Some bases offer great food, some offer just what is needed. In some bases you work and live with soldiers, in some bases you dont interact with soldiers that much. Some has washing machines and dryer for your clothes, some has nothing.

Most volunteers come from the USA and France. He also mentioned how we are ambassadors and spoke persons of Israel when we get back home. Indeed we are. We do good PR!

Packing medical equipment as usual.
Little break.
Sing me a song!
Mr Sunshine.

Relaxing after work.
Surprise!!!! We had awesome festive dinner tonight! Both big bosses are here to thank us. Thank you!


Evening session and personal questions about us. Teams compete who knows our volunteer group better. Our team lost.
After that we had our pins, diplomas, medals, key rings - and dog tags with our names in Hebrew on them.
This is our last night. We are talking what will we do tomorrow at this hour. All the S-A-D things, ha ha!
We bought little doggie to our boss Peggy. Then we cut cute pictures from magazines and put glue all over... Voila!
