Today was our first day getting to meet the kids – all 600
bubbly, giggly, excited little girls and boys who bounced their way into the
schoolyard where we were working. They charmed us with their smiles and their
manners, their thank-yous and hugs. At every step our Canadian and Honduras
teams mirrored the joy on the faces of the kids.
It was great to look around the schoolyard and see the adults
high-fiving the kids, playing puppets with them, talking and smiling, and just
having a great day all together. And it was even better seeing the smiles on
each of the kids’ faces as the backpack was put on their back, and they carried
their cozy new mattress out the school gates to their family waiting outside.
It really was "teamwork makes the dream work" in
action! We are looking forward to traveling outside the city tomorrow and
meeting another 600 terrific kids!
