We awoke early for our second day of work at the technical high school. After a lovely breakfast of gallo pinto (rice, beans, eggs, and sour cream), we continued our service projects. Today the group of was separated because some of the kids were on a field trip to the Parque de Quetzales. Whether sanding bences, building sinks or painting rooms , we welcomed a break provided by a traditional dance performance put on by the students. We then returned to our houses for lunch. When we returned to the school, we went to classes with the students at the school. After attending a cooking, mathematics, or science class, we all watched a game of volleyball between the team from our Costa Rican school and a team from New Jersey. Four people from our group were even able to join in. We then met as a group to discuss our "highlights" and "lowlights" of the day as well as improvements in the technique of our service projects.
Here are some photos from the group that worked at the National Park. They loved using the machetes!
