The
group enjoying playing with a soccerball prior to dinner at Good
Friends Burgers
We had another wonderful day at the center today.
We started the day by watching another small portion of Harry Potter
and listening to the story about The Good Shepard and his sheep, and
the Lord’s table. We then continued the day by making homemade sheep by
tracing the children’s hands and then covering them with cotton balls.
Although the preschoolers didn’t fully understand the concept, they had
a lot of fun scribbling all over their papers and sticking cotton balls
on them. After more fun with the parachute the kids were given the
opportunity to try “butter beer”, the famous drink of Hogwarts. We then
enjoyed a delicious lunch of homemade taquitos. Once the afternoon kids
arrived we got to repeat all the activities from the morning.
Tonight for dinner we had the special treat of going
to the center to have dinner with the Mexican teenagers. We played
soccer and frisbee in front of the center for a while, while Saul and
Goldi were going to get dinner from “Good Friends Burgers”, the
restaurant that the teenagers started. We all got the opportunity to
try the burgers that the teenagers make at the restaurant and they were
amazing. It was so much fun to spend time with the teenagers and just
relax and have a good time.
Overall, today was a great day full of many smiles
and a lot of laughter. I can’t believe how lucky I am to be in such an
amazing place with such amazing people.
