Wednesday’s Belated Post

By: Blake Herr

Today was a pretty good day. It started out with being a little bit late for breakfast. After that we went to the school. Like usual we waited for the kids to be released for their recess. I went over to a somewhat shady area so I wouldn’t get too sunburned. Their recess started and a few kids ran over to me. I started throwing them up in the air. I realized that was going to get tiring. So I started spinning them around or flipping them in the air. The kids loved it.

So as the kids were walking up to me they would motion what they wanted me to do to them. So about 15 minutes into their recess I looked up and saw they were all in a single file line. And there were about 20 kids in the line waiting their turn. It was pretty exhausting. (Also one of the kids looks a lot like my brother.)

After that we worked on the school garden. We got a lot of stuff done and it looks pretty nice compared to how it looked on Monday. At twelve we then ate. I was given a sleeve of rice cakes. (I ate the entire sleeve.) We then went and played with the clubhouse kids at the park, and I found out that I was actually decent at kicking a soccer ball.

After this we delivered food to some families. And while we were in their homes I realized how little they had but how content they were. So that was eye opening. Then we went home, showered, ate, and then went to an ice cream shop called Pops.

It was a pretty good experience. I learned a bit today. Also our wi-fi was down so thats why this blog was posted later than usual. Not because of me slacking off.

This is Blake signing off.
