Day 6 cap day 1

Today’s leaders of the day were Cielo, Madeline, and Kaleah! We started off the first CAP day very early. Everyone woke up at 4:55 a.m. and got ready to meet everyone downstairs to head on our trip towards the beach in Pedasi . People were excited to meet up with the kids to help clean up the beach.

We started off with an icebreaker learning everyones names and a game of telephone, both in spanish and english. Everyone including the kids helped with a sturdy hand to clean up the trash around whether it was a futbol or something small as a bottle cap. Interacting and collaborating with the local kids was a very heartfelt and learning experience for both of us learning how much the biodiversity brings all of us, of all ages and cultures, together.

We then started working on our collaboration project, painting rocks and a ledge. Working in the heat exhausted was a challenge for all of us that we had to push through. There were difficulties in communication that made our jobs harder which was another big challenge for us, but we managed to work through and recognized our problems to then overcome the obstacles.

Today started off with challenges, but despite it we all came together, and succeeded in the end. From the point of waking up early, to interacting with the local kids, we all arrived to the hotel (tired obv). To end our Nightly meeting, we wrapped things up with a sweet poem from our future LDDs, Emily, Shyanne, and Miranda for the next day.
