Parents and followers - we are sorry we didn't blog yesterday. There was a really cool storm here last night which knocked out the internet at the lodge. We are currently working with minimal internet and so the kids have written a blog, but we can't post pictures right now. Hopefully tomorrow. Everyone is great! Margaret Kelleher
Day Three:
Today we started our project at the school painting their
fence. The school was fantastic with a
lot of contributions from previous World Leadership Projects and the kids were
adorable and polite. We painted the
fence with silver oil-based paint so that it doesn’t rust when it rains. We are going to paint the tubes of the fence
blue eventually. Like we said, the kids
were super polite and we got to play with them as well! We played name games and football
(Americano). We had another delicious
lunch at our homestays (Tommy, Bruce, and Hannah with Bianca; Aidan and Chase
with Juanita). We took a swim again and
had lots of free time afterwards to cool down and I [Tommy] finally took a
shower after 3 days of filth! Most of
our free time has been spent with intense sessions of Egyptian Rat Screw card
games between Bruce, Tommy, and Chase (Chase mostly winning every hand). After our free time we discussed what kind of
personality/temperament each of us in the group had and what benefits and/or
problems they brought up. Chase was a
Rationalist/Conceptualizer, Aidan and Tommy were Idealists, and Hannah and
Bruce were Artisans/Experiencers. And
after that we started writing this blog.
Soon we will eat yet another delicious dinner at the lodge.
We miss you so much,
Tommy, Bruce, Hannah, Aidan, and Chase (Written by Bruce and
Tommy)
(P.S. Bruce needs more rubber bands because he dropped one
of his bags in the river AND it turns out I actually don’t need all of these
clothes MOM.. and my bag weighed 52 pounds ..)
(P.P.S. Tommy misses you all dearly and hopes the beach is
awesome and warm and while Bruce’s bag was the heaviest, mine was the lightest
at 31 pounds. Say Hi to Annabelle and
Oliver for me and give them a smooch.
Also, mom, if you could call or email or something Mrs. Gibbons and Mrs.
Geller and find out what Belle and Shoshana’s mailing addresses are, so that I
have them when I get back, that would be absolutely fantastic. Love you all so
much!)
