Day 7, Last work day and goodbyes

Day 7, Last work day and goodbyes

Today was everyone's last day at their sites. We were able to spend a lot of time with the family in the afternoon and the mother even brought us lunch to eat with us. Ellie and Rachael played some soccer with random kids. The kids of the family even wanted to help work and help us!:). It was a very emotional day and very hard to say our final goodbyes. It ended up pouring down rain at the end of the day so we had to run to a shack to say our prayers and thanks for the fam

Day 4, Team Natalie's Lucky Charms

So today I ended up cheating on my amazing team to go hang out with another team.  I'm going to let someone from that team add some of their words here if they like.

Nah, They were awesome too!
Team Cocoa, Day 3

Team Cocoa, Day 3

I am with Team Cocoa and we were assigned to work on the house with the single mother of four. Our first day was very productive, I thought. Everyone did a great job and the kids came by after school to hang out with us and check things out. We played a little soccer and basketball with them on a local court. It was very exhausting after working all day, but a great time! Enjoy Team Cocoa's Photos
