HONDURAS TEGUCIGALPA DAY 2

By Grace Middlekauff and Joey Occhipinti
A day of welcoming, hugs, and kindness.
Today we were welcomed by the community, Comayagua, near the dumpsite. When we arrived, we were greeted with dances, posters and overall kindness. Throughout the day, some intense games of soccer took place as well as dance battles. We gathered for a delicious lunch consisting of either pork or beef with rice and tortillas. Although it was clear at this time that the language barrier could be challenging, we communicated with advanced skills learned throughout our time at Regis and with physical expression. After lunch, we made our way through the community streets and delivered food/supplies needed by many, but to only four of the families with unique circumstances. As we were blessed with the opportunity to walk through these people’s houses, we were taken back by the differences of their lifestyles compared to ours at home. Unfortunately, we were heartbroken to have to leave our new friends, but we returned to the hotel with high hopes of what will come tomorrow.
