Today, we started off the day at the school with
our community projects such as painting, sorting the library, teaching classes,
and building swings.
We then took a break and played with all of our
friends. After the break, we continued with our projects. At lunchtime, we had
lunch with four local leaders. We ate, asked them questions, and discussed both
of our schools.
Next, we had a couple of challenges to complete
that had to do with teamwork skills. For example, we all had to cross a jump
rope without making it stop. We then passed out ice cream to all of the
standard five (7th grade) kids. The ice cream tasted really good
after a long day of working in the sun.
At the end of the day, we all had to say our
hard goodbyes. We gave hugs to each other and took pictures together.
When we finally got onto the bus, we drove to a
store called The Art Box. We bought some fun souvenirs for our families and
enjoyed some cold drinks at the café.
We then headed back to the Tropical Education Center for the
day. It was storming, which felt really nice after being sweaty and hot all
day. We ended the day with some very good pizza and blueberry cake.
