Playground Construction Crew


Hello loved ones! Today we started our day with a 7 a.m wake up call followed by a wonderful egg and cheese omelette at La Favorita . After breakfast we had a enjoyable energizer which called for everyone to get up and be active. We then got a wonderful surprise by our site manager Carla in form of an air conditioned and music capable bus. Everyone was ecstatic! Once as we arrived at La Inmaculada we spilt into three groups, the kitchen, the playground, and the painting group. After receiving our groups, we quickly got to work! Anne and I were assigned to the playground group. The objective of the playground group was that to clear and level out the playground. This entailed moving heavy rocks by shoveling, using our muscles and most importantly teamwork. The thing was, we had to do all this in pouring rain! To be honest this refreshed us so much, and made our jobs so much easier. It soften the soil and made it easier to move the rocks. We work hard until about 12p.m and got the announcement that lunch was ready to be served. For lunch we received a delicious Nica Asian style rice mixed and beef, with a side of salad, two pieces of bread and a very refreshing drink called Grama. After we enjoyed our wonderful meal we played an energizer that invigorated our moods. Following the energizer, we returned back to work in a highly positive mood. At 3p.m we got the announcement that it was time to leave. Before we left, I took a look at the progress that was made, and saw how much was accomplished in the matter of a couple of hours. This was all made possible due to the donors who were extremely generous and donated in total over $1000 for our CAP(Community Action Project). We then got on the bus and headed back to the hostal were we all then quickly took a shower and got back on the bus and headed to our English tutoring classes. At 6:30p.m tutoring was over and we then headed over to the La Favorita for dinner. Todays dinner was a plate with rice and beans, plantain chips and a side of Pico De Gallo with an amazing Calala drink. After dinner we received another surprise by our site manger Carla, ice cream! We then played a few games and headed back to the hostal. Before this I just want to say I love you mom and see you soon! This concludes our day, thank you for checking into our daily blog!
