Today our projects were reversed and the Spelling Bee group started out at the Escuelita (younger children) followed by doing their project at the Reinforcement Center (older students) in the afternoon. The Olympics group did their project in the morning and then went to the Escuelita in the afternoon to help with yard maintenance.
Our volunteering involved helping out in the kitchen and with maintenance. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, such as preparing food for about 600 students/ staff daily, washing dishes, cleaning classrooms, yard work and more. Our team helped out with yard work, raking, sweeping, weeding, and picking up pieces of glass from the playground, chopping fifteen heads of lettuce, washing pots and pans, cutting meat into bite-size pieces for about one hundred pre-schoolers and more.
