¡Hola los amigos y familia!
We have passed the middle marker of our trip which is bittersweet. We have returned from the villages of Uayma / Tinum and started our work at the Mission of Friendship. Wednesday was full of hugs, dancing, and building relationships with the mission’s programs. Our amazing translator/friend José took us on a tour of all of the Mission programs Wednesday morning, which included the daycare, medical dispensary, and the Nuevo Vida after school enrichment program. After learning so much about all the help la Mission de Amistad has to offer, we spent most of our day with the school age girls. Hours on end were spent playing tag, helping the girls learn english, and teaching them dances. A few helpful group members (Kevin, Conner, and Caroline) started a landscaping project to help beautify the daycare. Dorian, Julie, and Marie got worn out quickly after a hard days work of Just Dance games. Kevin earned the nickname “un monstro” (monster) for his 6 ft stature and spent the afternoon being chased by 16 little girls. We all learned so much from the English lesson, and this program truly is trying to help enrich the lives of these young ladies as much as possible.
