Dan:
Today, Friday, Cerel and I got to sleep in. After having grilled cheese and juice for breakfast, we picked up trash at the recreational fields of Cambita. All of us were very surprised about how much trash there was around the park. After picking up trash we ate lunch with out host families: chicken and mash potatoes. Next, our group did a leadership exercise. First, Laurie asked us questions and determined what type of leaders we were. I was a traditionalist or also known as guardian. It was weird because my online test told me that I was an idealist. Afterwards, using straws and an egg we performed an egg drop. Dylan, Jackie, and I were in a group and we all came up with the craziest ideas. At the end we agreed to use the straws as a pyramid casing to cover the egg. In reflection, it was interesting to see how each of use went through our own unique process as a leader to get a job done. Afterwards, we painted signs that encouraged people to keep their park clean by reducing littering. Julia, Emmett and I painted a sign that said: “Cero basura, salud segura.” We also got to paint with the local youth group and it was a really fun experience. Looking forward to the salsa lessons!
