Monday: Day 2

Today was an another amazing and successful day, we got to hang out and and accomplish a lot of work that needed to be done.


Our morning started out with a market breakfast containing cereal and fruits and granola bars for people who wanted to get a quick breakfast which everyone enjoyed.


After breakfast we headed to the orphanage to start our day with the kids, today for crafts we made name tags so the kids would know who we were and we would know who they were. For music we played hot potato, Hosanna,, mi queirpo, and chicken dance which was an all favorite in my opinion. We had around 15 kids at the two stations and switched halfway through the time so we got an even amount of time with the kids between stations.


After crafts and music we headed over to Famoso and Golandrina’s for more crafts while people went shopping for supplies that we needed for work. The kids made necklaces with their name tag and added beads to the name tags to make it flashy. 


Once the people who were shopping for supplies that’s when we started our work, we had three groups. One for roof sealant who came early before the sun to finish the hottest parts of the roof ad continued in the shaded parts once the sun started to appear and get them hot. Then we had another group who did painting and they painted the stairs in the backyard and the window bars in front of the screen. And the final group we had was on screening job and they replaced all the damaged screens in the house.


Then we went to Matriz and had tacos and beans made from the Matriz chef. Now we didn’t have lunch with the kids because some were headed to school and others were coming from school so it was just lunch with the team, but the food was amazing. We then went back to the house and continued working until 5 then went back to the hotel to hang out and have dinner.
