It is time to wrap up this mission.

I take this chance to introduce myself: my name is Mattia, the photographer and writer for this mission. It was my first time on a mission, and I am glad I joined this journey.

The feeling of seeing the happiness on the faces of the children and their families is priceless. I got to know amazing people and professionals who made this week far more than I expected.

Team LASUTH was extraordinary. They did everything to make us feel welcomed and kept the atmosphere joyful and warm throughout.

Tonight most of the team will fly back home, and I am already missing everybody.

Thank you, Alliance for Smiles, for having me on board and letting me witness what changing lives truly means.

See you on the next mission.
