Hello everyone! Monday we started the day off with a quick breakfast with everyone and headed to the daycare.
At the daycare, which watches over children starting at 9 months old, until they’re 4 and a half years old. We started by playing with the children with bubbles and chalk. Then we went inside and played with legos and dolls with them.
After, we went to Nueva Vida, an all girls school that teaches for children elementary school age. The school is an after school program that was created for families that worked during the day and couldn’t pick up their kids until later in the day. The school teaches the girls manners, Spanish, English, and computer skills to name a few. We got to know the girls by dancing and playing with them. We then had lunch with them which was chicken stew. After lunch our group split to help teach the girls English in smaller groups. For our service for Nueva Vida, we organized clothes for the girls, along with prepared expired medicine to be disposed of by the nearby pharmacy.
From Nueva Vida, we went back to the mission house and cooked lunch for ourselves which was spaghetti with sides. Our neighbor was gracious enough to make her homemade pineapple jello for our dessert.
We ended the night with a group reflection focused on cultural foods and traditions surrounding said food.
