DAY 3 - JOYFUL TUESDAY IN THE VALLEY

Nika Kersting '26, Liam Lynch '26, and Anne Klennert '26
Crafts, dancing, hiking, singing, and community… 
Today we split into two groups and went to a primary school and a special needs school, the only one in the region. The group at the primary school went to different preschool classrooms and did activities in the classroom involving hula hooping and singing. We also went to PE class and did relays and played futbol with the kids. For the after-school program, group one took a bus over to Urcos and got to paint rocks and play outside with the kids!! After, we came back and had lunch with rice, chicken, and veggies with SOY SAUCE!!!!!  

In group two, we started the day taking a bus to the special needs school. We all went into different classrooms with varying activities from bracelet making to obstacle courses and sensory activities. We ended our day at the school with the dance party and yummy food!!! Then we continued onto a hike and sat on hands looking at a magnificent view of the valley. We saw cows and baby sheep!!! We came back to the parish and learned how to weld to make jewelry. We reunited for dinner and had delicious steak, fries and rice followed by a thoughtful reflection on the community and the events that we encountered throughout the day.
