Learning the Ropes

On our second day our team got together with some of the long term
volunteers to go over the rules and what is expected for us. We then
took a tour of both the Teen Center and the Main. After the tour we
each separated to go do our different jobs. The kids went off to help
with the younger children and took them on a walk to what the children
called the Powwow Grounds. Some adults went to go cook in the kitchen
and we had three adults going out and getting windows to replace the
ones broken. So far they have three of the eight that they bought. The
older kids got to play in the gym with the older kids later on in the
evening. We all found out how good they are real fast. Some kids even
played a little two on two with some of them. Joel and I had a great
oppurtunity. We were able to sit in with a meeting that they were
having at the Teen Center. They talked about the changes that they
wanted to happen in their community, what they were proud of in their
community, and what qualities their ideal leader would have.We thank
God that we are able to help out here and just hang with the kids.
It’s been really interesting learning about their situation here and
we pray that we will be able to help as much as we can.
