3. Inspiring Messages from
Preschool Children
“I wish every child could have a house” “I wish every child could be protected”
8. We played “What time is it Mr. Wolf?” with the kids at the
Peurta Plata school. Even though the kids did not speak
English, and we did not speak Spanish, we were able to
communicate with them, no problem.
After a couple rounds, I got one of the little boys to help
me out by being the wolf, and after that he was glued to
me and hanging off me like a monkey for the rest of the
day.
9. Teaching Health and Safety
While in Neyba, we were split into three groups to help the world vision group
come up with ideas on how to promote health and safety.
This was a group of people from the ages of 14-35, and they wanted to know
more on the importance of washing your hands.
It shocked me, at how little they
actually knew, but it felt good
teaching them what they wanted to
learn. We slowly got six steps on
washing your hands done. We had
to get a volunteer to do the art work
of each step.
I wish we had more days like this
where we were able to set up
activities, workshops or any lesson,
and interact with people from the
community. I felt like I was
accomplishing what I went down
there to do.
10. This trip was a major eye opener for me in many ways. It was tough to see the way people
live down there. It was nice knowing that people respected what we were there for, and
that they made sure we knew they valued everything we did for/with them. It makes me
want to go back and continue what we were doing!
