Tomorrow morning, we will be helping to lead the high school fall camp. This year's plan is quite exciting - we will spend the day doing community service projects, and spend the night at school.
We have three sites: an orphanage, where students will lavish attention on the babies and play games with the young children; a school that was rebuilt following the earthquake, where students will lead the elementary school kids in team-building games and English lessons; and a local school for migrant children, where the students will repaint the school's exterior and provide general sprucing up of the grounds.
Our level of community involvement (as a school, and as individuals) has been a little lacking, so this is a wonderful opportunity to get that turned around. Many of the students have expressed that they are excited about the opportunity to serve, which is music to a teacher's ears.
Back at the school, we will do the usual combination of silly games, serious talks, and eating junk food. The kids will be allowed to stay up as long as they want, and we hope this will provide them with good bonding times.
By Friday morning, I am sure we will all be exhausted. That is why we are sending them home early!
After that.....VACATION!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!
