First day of service
Authored By:
What a wonderful first day of service! We started with a dance & exercise break where our students jumped right in the middle of the action, following along to the dance moves of the leader on stage. Then we separated into the groups that we'll be with for the next few weeks. Our group is divided in pairs of 2-3 and we're spread throughout different age-group classes at the site. We're working with students from 6-16 years old! Everyone has been eager to get to know each other, and our students are excited to learn more and practice their Spanish. After classes there was a special visita from Helados Bon, the local ice cream chain. They led everyone through more dances and activities, and at the end gave everyone a paleta!
As part of the Spanish classes, in the afternoon we went to Mercado Modelo to practice bartering in Spanish. Lots of great deals were made while souvenir shopping. Students had the evening free to spend time together and with their host families. Safe to say it was a busy day, and we are looking forward to another busy day of service tomorrow!
