Saying Goodbye

Pax was so amazing and I know I am going to miss it. One day I really hope I can come back and maybe even volunteer on the staff. It was so amazing meeting so many new girls and hear why they chose to come here and all the planning that went into it. Most girls had been planning to come here for the past two years so you can imagine the excited they had finally arriving. Every girl I spoke to was just lovely and I got to record a lot of what these girls told me and I plan to edit it into my video later.

Last night, I was able to attend a special event here that was part of the Journey Through London Tour here put on by Pax Lodge. It was called international night and the staff was there dressed in their uniforms from their countries and shared with us some information about their country. The girls staying taught songs and we laughed and had a great time. I also got a special Pax Lodge Pin. Each World Center has their own special pin that you can only get when you visit it and it is given to you at a ceremony.

The volunteers here come from all over the world, yet many of the girls that were part of this tour were from the United States. Take a look at some photos from this morning and last night.





Again I must say that I will be missing London and Pax Lodge. I can't wait to get started on my video though. I really want to convince girls to come here. It is a great experience. Stay tuned for my video where you can hear girls and staff members share their stories about Pax Lodge, the planning it took to get here, and the amazing time they are having.
