Cap Day 1 (No. 3)

Holaaaa! Parents and friends! Today was our official first Community Action Project Day! We started our day with a big breakfast of banana pancakes, scrambled eggs, and fruit! ? After that we walked down to the local school and got straight to work! We started by sweeping debris then mixing concrete together and laying it down. After a few hours of teamwork, we headed to lunch, had a little free time then got back to work laying down a new floor. We ended the day with a big game of tag, and a nice swim in the pool (we even made cupcakes at the end of the day). Today we learned a lot about working together and stepping out of our comfort zones to help others. We all can’t wait to work harder than we did today on CAP day 2 and keep making a sustainable difference in this community!! On a side note, we very much enjoyed leading the group today! It was an experience neither of us will forget and we learned so much. We appreciate Global Glimpse for this opportunity and can’t wait to become stronger leaders in the future!!!

P.S- We miss you guys and we will be home before you know it!!

Congratulations on your first day working on your project. Concrete is not easy and learning to lay it is a great skill to have. Sounds like a full day with a great mix of work and play. We’re heading out to hike in Ouray and try the hot springs with Uncle B, Robert, Betty and Dan. They all love hearing about your adventures. Love you Amalia!

Hoping I don’t end up with 2 posts – my earlier one seems to have gone missing. It looks like you all enjoyed the first day of service and learned some really useful skills as well. Nice to have been able to end the day with a dip. We’re in Ouray hiking and having dinner with Uncle B, Robert, Betty and Dan. Amalia, they all say hi and have lived hearing about your adventures. Sending our love ?
