Today was our second day at St.
Matthews School. Today, in addition to painting, we also took turns creating a
sidewalk. The work was exhausting, but we managed to complete some of our given
task. We also met with our classroom buddies and they gave us a tour of the St.
Matthew Village. We even stopped by some of our Belizean friends’ houses. We
learned about their culture and lifestyles.
When we finished, we went back to
the classroom and showed them one of our games: Mafia. We explained the game to
them by playing a practice round, and then they joined in. They learned really
fast and we let them lead. They had Alex “killed” with a knife, but it was all
fun. Eventually it was time to go. So, we said farewell to our new friends.
After, we got on the bus for a
15-minute bumpy ride to The Tropical Education Center, also known as TEC. Upon
arrival we got settled into our new cabins. We played cards and another game of
Mafia until it was time to have a meeting. During the meeting, we learned the
five stages of groups and made skits to express them visually. Finally, it was
time for a fantastic dinner with bread pudding for dessert. Then, our day was
put to an end with a lovely sleep so that we might be ready for the next exciting
day to come.
