Day 15: The last instalment. :)

Nanjing Day 15

The last lap.

Finally, we have reached the end of our journey. It was a bumpy ride filled with tears and laughter; a trip which we will all remember.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers. Your thoughtful words of encouragement helped to make the days less tedious.

Looking back, we marvel at how much the kids have grown in this short span of time. The children will have many colourful stories to tell you ,when you meet them later. Please hear them out, for they have earn the rights to tell them. We believe this episode in their life will remain dear to them for a long, long time.

Thanks once again and see you in Singapore!

With best wishes,
The Nanjing Immersion Team

p.s. From Mr Yap: I would like to thank my wife Anna for taking care of the kids during my absence. You made it sound simple but I know it has been tough. I couldn't have done all this without you.
