TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK!!!!!!
TODAY WAS A BUSY DAY, THE START OF OUR COMMUNITY ACTION PROJECT.
In order to wake people up at a grueling 6am, we made customized wake up strategies; ranging from raps, balloon pops, music, and spot on impressions of mickey mouse. YES!!! AFTER A QUICK BREAKFAST AT OUR FAVORITE LOCAL COMEDOR, DEJA VU, WE BOARDED A BUS TO LA ESCUELA SALINAS GRANDES. upon our arrival, we got right into work and split into our designated teams. WE WERE TASKED WITH PAINTING AN ENVIRONMENTAL MURAL, REPAIRING DESKS, PLANTING TREES, AND FIXING THE SOCCER FIELD. after four hours of working, eight to twelve, we had lunch provided by deja vu. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS A CASE OF DEJA VU. After lunch, we continued with two more hours of work and departed at three. WE GOT BACK TO OUR HOSTEL AT 3:45 AND PREPARED OUR LESSON PLANS FOR OUR ENGLISH CLASSES. we had a delicious five o’clock dinner of pollo frito, arroz, ensalada, y pan at deja vu (fried chicken, rice, salad, and bread). OUR RESPECTIVE CLASSES MOSTLY CONSISTED OF SOME SORT OF FINAL, EXAM OR OTHERWISE, AND PREP FOR THE THURSDAY TALENT SHOW. following the end of class, there were a lot of pictures with the students and trading of contact information. SOME GLIMPSERS WENT TO THE LOCAL SUPERMARKET TO PICK UP EXTRA SNACKS FOR THE NEXT DAY OF CAP DELIVERY. as usual we end the night with the nightly meeting, which allowed for us to reflect on today’s cap project work. since spencer and chris were to be the next leaders of the day, i took it upon myself to have them perform the step routine that i taught them early on in the trip. to me it was not only a dance, but a token of our everlasting fwenship :). THANKS. WE ARE GOING TO BED AT 10:00 FOR ANOTHER BUSY DAY OF OUR COMMUNITY ACTION PROJECT TOMORROW.

NICE JOB GUYS. looks like a busy but productive day. LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE TOMORROW.
❤️!El Trabajo de Equipo Hace el Trabajo de Sueño! !Si, si, y si! Team Work Makes The Dream Work! Yes, yes, and yes! You guys devised a plan and have put it into to action, as a team; !magnífico! The pictures look great and the blog post was outstanding, as always. How great is it to have the children of the school right beside you guys, seeing all the work you guys are doing for them and their school! This is something they will talk about for years to come. Sounds like the morning wake-up calls should be a performing act to take on the road! Can someone video tape the talent show? It sounds exciting!
!Tipos de gracias para otro gran día de más modos que uno! Thank you guys for another great day, in more ways than one❤️

Hi Chris/ Steven, great job. Love your wake up strategy. Ha ha ha ……. I can just imagine the faces of teenagers trying to wake up early, not to mention being waken up with balloons popping and all that noise.planting will leave a lasting remembrance to the community. The’ll be thinking of you guys whenever they see your plant as they grow. Hope you planted fruit trees, that would really leave a lasting memory of you . Will be waiting for more blogs of your work there. More power to you guys. Tired? I am sure. But I can see, you are having fun too. That’s the spirit! Yeyyyyyy…….l
