Yesterday had a cold start with a little wind and lots of rain in the morning. We started out the day with the children by warming up playing sports. Soccer, volleyball, and frisbee were some of the games going around. Once the energy was high, everyone split into three groups and came up with a skit to present to the rest of the group. There were funny skits showing scenes from the movies Spider-Man, Toy Story, and Shrek. We all had a good laugh and connected with the people around us. The rest of the rainy day with the children was spent playing sports and doing friendly arm-wrestling competitions. After a delicious lunch and small rest, the Guadalupe group learned how to make tamales! We all took turns grinding the corn into masa and then learned how to wrap them in tinfoil to be cooked. While waiting for the tamales to cook, time was spent down by the river, throwing rocks into the river and enjoying nature. This time by the river gave us a moment to slow down and appreciate all the naure around us. Being disconnected from our devices and not knowing the time allowed us to fully be in the present and form genuine connections with the children from Guadalupe and our peers from school.
