Hello followers of our bloooog. Today was another fascinating and adventurous day for the handsome and beautiful workers of Collegiate. The day started off with a thrilling US World Cup tie, watched on the “ProNino Plasma.” Following the game, we moved old, heavy railroad ties to the new bridge connecting the new soccer field sight to the rest of the ProNiño grounds. Lindy did most of the heavy lifting. After the grueling haul, 5 girls went to paint the divider separating the different age groups eating areas. There was a green backdrop with rainbow ProNiño written across the whole thing. The 2 centers names were also painted with the Spanish words for peace and love. They were muy guapo. For the majority of the day, we didn’t have a whole lot of work to do. The workers who help us with the projects refused our help because of their “pride.” We all think it was because they get paid by the day and our efficient skills cut their work time significantly. Although this made us slightly bored it gave us significant time with all the boys, which was probably more fulfilling than manual labor. At the end of the day we finally scraped up some work. A small group dug up one of the heavily cemented soccer goals and replaced it with a brand-spankin new goal fit with even more cement. The best part of the day was definitely our Fiesta. 30 pizza hut zas and 3 liter Pepsis filled our stomachs, quenched our thirst, and jacked the kids up on caffeine. Their energy fueled the dancing and laughter that followed the feast. After a fabulous day, we regrouped and met in room 202 of the Casa Blanca Hotel for some of Peavey’s famous relaxation and reflection.
For those following us we will not have a blooog tomorrow because we will be heading to Copan for some R&R. Enjoy VA.
Hola!
Love, ELISE, RILEY, and dyson
