Set-up today was on stage in the courtyard of a school with Nicaraguan flags in the background. The stage was set for action! The crew had their positions. The characters were dressed in their new shirts and came forward by designated groups to the stage to be captured on camera. The SCAW team prompted smiles and the children were ushered to their individual spots by the set director. The cameraman captured the shining dark eyes, flashing smiles and energy of 400 beautiful children.
Prior to their stage entrance, Jill encouraged children to try English with, "hello", "good bye" and numbers from 1 to 10. As they exited stage left they received their bedkits from Melanie and were escorted by a band of spirited teen volunteers. The children were given juice and a snack and led to their waiting parents.
Tomorrow will be our final encore.
