After all the days spent here, we are already used to the British times. Wake up soon, some footing on the park, big breakfast and work.
Today we visit the mosque of B'Ham with Azam and Shirley. One of the biggest of Europe (the biggest one once) and with capacity for 5.000 people.
Afterwards, we continue with the preparation of the presentation that we are going to make to the main representatives of the project in England.
In the afternoon, after the work, we go shopping for a while. We are not surprised anymore about how soon the shops close or about how the people dissapear at this time from the city center. Back on Firtcroft, we all drink a beer on the terrace of my room and sit down to watch how Spain loses again Chile. The "naughty" English people there support Chile.

This ends. We spend our morning working on the preparation of the final presentation. First, a working meeting on which we practice all the English that we can and we make a brainstorming about how to improve this kind of projects and experiences in the future. After lunch, a second meeting with the English and Spanish volunteers and all the staff of BVSC. At the end of the afternoon, we make the final presentation with the whole group and main representatives of several organisations: School of languages of Birmingham, Adult Center of Sulton, etc.
We left the level very high.
Just to finish this diary, we would like to say thank you to BVSC, Gantalcalá and all the volunteers who have participated on this project, especially, those who have supported us during the last days full of friendship.
