Alexis: Wassup booooiiiis. Today was the day of our first CAP project, or community action project, and we had to face a lot of challenges.
Diego: Yep! As leaders of the day, we quickly realized the limitations one faces when forcing teenagers to wake up and asking them to do stuff. All the same, we made a lot a lot of progress fixing up El Rebaño de Agrerio (the Barn of Happiness, a school for 3-5 year-old children of vendors at the neighboring street market). We have paint stains throughout our clothes and hands to remind us!
Alexis: Something my mother will definitely not be happy about. Heh. Despite the struggles of manual labor and self motivation, we did manage to keep everyone up and spry. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a good time (maybe a little too muchof a good time), and we are now well prepared for tomorrow since we have a broader scale of knowledge on what we are doing.
Diego: Definitely! Tomorrow we are gonna paint a mural, entertain kids, and finish painting chairs and tables, as well as cleaning cobwebs and finding out where that mysterious squeaking sound was coming from (I’m betting a mutated rat, personally). We will also be starting our final week of English tutoring! Also, Alexis just told me to write that he loves Spider-Man. Apparently it is a requirement for tonight’s blog or something. He really loves Spider-Man
Alexis and Diego: ¡Hasta luego!
Lol! Spiderman is cool. Thanks for this entry guys. Hope we get to see pics of the mural.
Wow, it’s great to be able to keep up by reading this blog. You guys are doing a great job writing it!
Miss you, Grace.
Sounds like a really cool and meaningful project, if a little messy! Pictures would be great to see, as it comes together. Thanks for sharing and injecting some humor into the story!
Fun blog! I like the way you took turns writing and added some humor in there 🙂 I look forward to hearing more about your project!
Haha you guys are awesome. Great work Diego and Alexis and all you hard working teens and leaders. Not easy. So proud and impressed too.
Thanks for keeping us up with your activities…you’re have a great imput guys.
Love your writing.
Proud Granny
We are so proud of you all! Alexis, I will not be upset about your clothes (did I mention washing clothes had been added to your list chores?). We love you and miss you, we will see the new spider man movie when you return and Justin and Alex will be here!!
