Day Three!

This morning our team left our hotel bright and early to educate the leaders of the feeding center in Leon. We split up into two teams: one for flannel graph teaching and one for first aid/CPR teaching. The flannel graph team went first and the leaders were very engaged in the presentation. They left feeling significantly more knowledgeable and were ready to educate the kids. Afterwards, the first aid group presented and the leaders and staff of the church and feeding center were overjoyed with the materials given to them. They were not expecting such a thorough explanation and were thrilled for the education. The training was followed by lunch, in which we served the local children upon their arrival from school. Serving the children lunch was refreshing because we got to put smiles on the children's faces. After feeding the children, we left the feeding center with the church leaders in tow to go to the beach. The beach was a beautiful sight, there was team bonding and copious amount of laughter coming from the teams. Unfortunately, we did have to pack and leave the beach. When we arrived back at the hotel, the wonderful hotel staff had a delicious meal prepared for us. The night ended with a very fruitful "porch time" with a talk from our wonderful OrphaNetwork leader.
