Sixteen new volunteers arrived over the weekend and added to the 2 that stayed from last session (G-Funk and Megan) we have a total of 18 for session 2 including the first boy (Reinier)!! Orientation took three days and it was a lot of fun. We learned a lot and got more familiar with the curriculum and each other. On Tuesday we had a meet and greet with all the translators and everyone got to know each other, while enjoying delicious pizza from Macdauds (you’re lovin’ it)! After packing boxes on Wednesday we were all ready for our first camp on Thursday. Although the school didn’t realize we were coming that day, they were so excited to see us and they loved the morning songs. Lunch was a bit challenging but everybody enjoyed NSIMA TIME! World Camp teachers may have been nervous at first but quickly got into the swing of things and will soon be expert World Camp teachers! The kids really enjoyed playing with the Frisbees during afternoon games, and they can’t wait for us to come back tomorrow! We are looking forward to some great empowerment sections and some awesome presentations on day three. We are so glad the session finally started and we can’t wait to see what lies ahead of us! Zikoooomo!
