The Communities--Part 1

The rain didn't last long today which was a blessing because it kept us dry during the day, but we all know what comes after a nice rain--gnats! By the end of the day we probably swatted enough gnats to create energy powered by wind.

The students were champs throughout the entire day. During the morning we split up into three groups to work in the three communities of Terensio, Ameya, and El Porvenir. A lot of the time spent was cleaning up the land of trash and brush from fallen trees. The spirit of flexibility kicked in among our team as we waited for our lunch for about an hour. Following lunch we helped serve kids from the three communities food, taught the kids the concept of unity, and then ran a VBS.

Most of the students and volunteers are splashing in the pool as we wait for dinner. Tonight we will finish up with a time of debriefing and then some much needed sleep. More on this tomorrow...
