Day 4: Quien sabe? Buses and kiddos
What a great gift today—all the vols got to sleep in until our meeting at 10:30! Lori came over to talk about the dire condition of the clinic at chureca. Manna has pledged to help fundraise $24,000 so this clinic can keep doing what it does. So tight. A majority of by free time for the next few weeks will be pestered by thinking of ways to spread the word. But all in all a hopeful and informative meeting.
After that the volunteers took the bus, in all it’s madness, to la tierra to play with the kids and help them read at the library. I met a lot of kids, and they see each and every college student as their own personal playground. I spent a majority of my time with jose and francisco, two extremely malnourished kiddos. They’re 11 and 5 but they look 7 and 3. Yikes. They don’t attend manna programs but hopefully they will.
Another great day full of adventure, nicas, and fun. We’re going out tonight for dinner, and I’m stoked for that!!
Paz,
