We started the day as usual by eating at Imabite with a wonderful breakfast. Then we returned back to the hostel to energize ourselves to prepare us for a very productive day. After the energizer, we had a program seminar about writing letters of appreciation. We wrote [thank you[ letters to the supporters who helped each of us in the delegation with making this trip possible. After an hour completing our letters, we headed to the hardware store to purchase supplies for our Community Action Project. Each committee from the CAP purchased supplies to get their projects running. The three main goals we had for the CAP were to fix the bus, create a new trail, and paint the classrooms.
Then we headed to the Special Need School and had lunch there. After lunch we delegated rolls for our projects. For example, how to begin to fix the trail which was clearing the pathway. We also decided that a group of people would work on the trail and the other group work on painting the classrooms. We worked from two o’clock pm to four o’clock pm finishing the classrooms and the pathway. Between those hours, we accomplished so much work for both the trail and classrooms.
Even though we accomplished so much of the trail and classrooms, we had some ups and downs with the original project. Unfortunately our original plan to fix the bus was not achieved because of the complications of the mechanical problems that the bus had. On the bright side, the money that was going towards fixing the bus will now be donations for materials necessary for the children at the school. After the hard work we accomplished, we headed back to the hostel with a surprise dinner of pizza and ice cream. We ended the day with completing one-third of our CAP. We continued our night with the usual nightly meeting with a new activity. With this new activity, it gave us a chance to collaborate with one another by giving anonymous characteristic compliments to everybody. By working as a team we were able to accomplish many task while we created closer bonds with one another.
Nice job with the description, Angelline and Joseline! Funny story- I like coffee. My colleague goes to China, to visit family. They have this coffee they think is so awesome! She brings some back and gives me this package that says: “directly from the Nicaragua volcano to your cup.” Global markets, anyone?
Sending love and appreciation!
Hello GG TEAM!
Sometimes with the best of intentions, we must go to plan B. This happened to be the case today. The bus was not meant to be. So you move on and made of the best decision you could. The school materials will be very much appreciated i am sure of that. I hope the feeling of pride that each and everyone you have stays with you for many years to come.
Brittany, I miss you and can’t wait for you to come home. I love you with all of my heart. Natasha, Maria, Chris, Nick, Emily and Chief and of course Cody miss you and love you very much. I update them all daily on your adventure.
Keep the blogs coming…….

Hi, the pics are of very low resolution (I understand the internet may not be as fast there) and I try to guess whether the thin tall stick at the left of the bottom picture is my daughter.
Rome is not built in one day. I just hope this trip will instill the seed of community service for the long run. Keep on the nice job, everyone!

Great job Team, you all accomplished so much for such a great cause. You should all feel so proud. I have to say writing the thank you notes is one of my favorite things you did today. It is a lost art for most people, but so appreciated by the receiver.
See you soon Brit.
