Hello everyone this is Andrea and Elle!
We are glad to say everything has gone as planned and everyone is healthy. When we arrived in Honduras we went to give out wheel chairs. This experience was moving and good practice for our Spanish. Every person we gave a wheel chair to was incredibly kind, thankful and full of smiles. There was one man that was part of a gang and both of his legs were gone. There was also a really friendly girl that we gave all of our Facebook information to. Now on to are second day and WOW what a day. We don’t think anyone got through the day without having a strong motional experience about what we saw. This was likely a once in a life time opportunity. We went to a school that was teaching children, who lived in a local garbage dump. There we learned a little bit about an everyday life at the dump. Later in the day we actually went up to the dump and feed 200 people. Within four minutes all the food was gone. There was a mountain of garbage and the people worked to find food, cans, paper and stuff for shelter. The peoples’ houses were surrounded by garbage.
The day ended with getting to the camp YAY!! Now we are off to bed and look forward to hearing from all of you.
WOW! What a few days you all have had!
ReplyDeleteI can not imagine living in a dump and needing to scour it for food and other things! I am betting that it made a huge impact on all of you!
