Hola amigos!

Today we had a meeting with two representatives from the NGO A Roof For Uruguay who led a discussion about charity and how we can impact the world. We finally met the University of Maryland group after their flight was also delayed. Boy are we glad that we had a few days to relax!

After lunch, the two schools traveled to a local ¨soup kitchen¨ (Mendendaro in spanish) and put on a carnival for the underprivelaged children in the area. It was such an incredible experience seeing the way that our games made them smile. All of the kids were extremely receptive to our efforts, and it felt great to begin our charity work in Uruguay!

Then we went back to the hillel to have our orientation with the NGO and learn how were are going to be contructing houses. It´s going to be difficult, but fun and rewarding!

Hi Diane, Howie, Les and Marci….we miss you!

Love always,

Amy and Michelle
