The highlight on Thursday was a visit in Ludvika where we planned to buy shoes for everyone. Imagine, shoes for fourteen children and two grown up. Chaos? No, the chaos failed to come. These kids where so happy and great full to for the first time be able to choose a pair of new shoes for themselves. For one more time, Irena couldn't keep her tears, partly because she got a pair of her own. The shoe shop gave us an 80% discount and soon it was emptied. We continued to MacDonalds until all the children's Happy Meal was emptied.

Back at Finnbo there was more time for swimming and playing. The children also got the opportunity to pose together with the leaders when the local newspaper, Nya Ludvika Tidning, made a visit to Finnbo to write about the adventure and to take some pictures.

As Thursday night was the last night together it was suitable with a get together around the campfire with juice and Bisans homemade cookies. Not a crumb was left and not one eye was dry. The teacher Juris had prepared a long speech of gratitude in English and to write the speech he had used his 100 year old travel dictionary. When it was time for the speech he could only say "Thank you" before he started to cry and asked to be excused. Labbe tried to console him by passing him two symbolic gifts as a memory from Finnbo and Dalecarlia. The "Swedish Room" at the orphanage will now be decorated with a handmade cloth and a Dalecarlian horse.
