Day 5


A few quotes from today:

• Five from our team travelled to a public school in Aguas del Padre to paint some playground equipment. Angie said, “We turned their black and white playground to color.”
• Caroline shared, “How do I feel this close to people that I don’t even speak the same language.”
• “The staff [at La Providencia] is a family.”—Judy

Lost in Translation: Eric played soccer at lunch time with some of the workers. After a while he needed a break and, pointing to his stomach, he meant to say, “Yo estoy gordo,” which means “I am fat.” Instead, he said, “Yo estoy guapo,” meaning, “I am handsome.” Needless to say, there were several chuckles from the other players.
