At that point, all that was left was painting. We sanded the cement walls to remove loose particles of sand and then painted them the same yellow as the rest of the school.

The school's principal wanted a plaque to commemorate our work. Luckily Darren is a tattoo artist, so he used his painting skills to freehand the name of the project and the initials of all four schools onto a wood plank. The owner of Global Heritage, Irene Wong, arrived in time to help with the finishing touches.

We celebrated the completion of the project with lots of photos, and fresh coconut water from a coconut tree at the school.
And just like that, our time at Romdeng Primary School was over. I'm going to miss my new friends.
