Today's final blog from HKIS is brought to you by Nitya, Tara and Robyn:
"As we woke up to our last day at Borderlands we were all extremely sad that our Sri Lankan experience was nearing the end. We drowsily walked to or meeting point where we would find out what our last day of activities would be.
As we begun our series of small challenges, including building a boat, the adventure race and our boat race, we were full of energy and excitement, wanting each of our teams to be the most successful. As we built our rafts using only cardboard, tape, scissors and a tarp, our determination to win grew stronger.
Later on through the adventure ace our teamwork and leadership skills were truly tested. we had to complete difficult tasks, such as boiling an egg with only wood and matches, untangling knots and filling up tubes with water which had holes.
Finally the water was just high enough in the river to go white water rafting. We packed into the jeep and drove off to the starting point. We rafted over rocks, huge waves and other obstacles, all making the experience more fun. Some of us fell in as our rafts were capsized by others. As we returned to camp we all waited the boat race, where each of the rafts the three groups had built would race down the river. Unfortunately all the rafts did not make it in one piece but the whole activity was very exciting.
We can truly say that the whole day was filled with challenges and surprises that pushed us to use our skills we had learned the past few days.
It was a great end to our adventure at Borderlands"
