This morning we visited a local school. The elementary kids were there this morning and then the high schoolers have school in the afternoon. We talked to a few classes for a bit and gave them coloring books and crayons that the Winter Term Wartburg classes had prepared for the school.
Today we went to a different village, Conte Grande, to plant trees. They planted tree seeds like we did yesterday about a month ago and they were now ready to be put in the ground. We, with the help of some local people, planted 264 trees around a well that was recently built for the community.
This afternoon we played the local high school girls soccer team. U.S. scored 2, Nicaragua scored 1! We were all exhausted and are worn out tonight. We had a couple girls who have played soccer before and some that have never played. I don´t even know the rules! We were dreading getting dominated by the local team but we ended up having a ton of fun!
Tomorrow we are building 2 or 3 stoves in La Dante, where we spent Monday and Tuesday working. Friday we are working there in the morning and then we are presenting a cultural show that afternoon for the community. When we first came they sang songs and danced for us so now it´s our turn. We are still debating what to do, but are thinking the YMCA or Macarena...none of us seem to have very good talents to showcase.
