Community action project day 2
Hola from the DR! this is your leaders of the day Alex and Abi!
Today for breakfast we had eggs, mashed potatoes and a very special fruit WATERMELON!!!
Then after we departed to the CAP site to continue our work from yesterday. First we lined up against the wall in a line
and a truck pulled up with 75 CEMENT BLOCKS!!👷🦾 we passed them down hand to hand using our teamwork we were able to get this done in less then a hour. After we went back to the hotel to have some lunch! 👅
CHICKEN, RICE AND BEANS!!!!!
After we were supposed to depart to the cap site 𝓱𝓸𝔀𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻…
we had our first rainstorm of our trip!! This made coming back to the CAP site not possible because we could not work with cement on the rain like originally intended. This made everyone realize we needed a break from our hard work so we went shopping downtown.
After shopping… we secretly made Appreciation Letters to all our GGLs and PCs! We all passed the cards around and signed them individually. After we had our dinner
BURRITOS 🤤
After our dinner we presented the cards to them and had a heartfelt moment! ❤
AND! that concludes our day 8!!!
thank you very much! you will hear from us all Sunday!

Sending a big love to the group and my Watts students Fernando and Fatima! I have loved reading the blogs each day. Keep up the great work team! This CAP project seems like a lot of work but definitely meaningful. I am looking forward to reading about the last few days and seeing the group’s continued growth! -Ms.Schacher

Thanks for the fun recap Abi and Alex. Those bags of cement look very heavy! I want to give you all a shout out for the surprise appreciation cards to your adult leadership team. Sharing appreciation is a great way to show gratitude for everything that you’ve been able to experience with some of the core people that made it possible. Plus it actually helps you reflect on your experience and deepen your own learning. Big love to this delegation!

So awesome to see you guys are continuing your hard work. Too bad the rain cut your work day short, but I’m sure you enjoyed shopping.
