Community Service- This week we have been volunteering at the San Pedro Public Library. They have an Easter program for children where the librarian creates activities for the children for 3 days. A lot of the parents here are working during the children's break from school so they have no where to go. I think that it is a great opportunity for the kids to learn and have a good time. This year we arranged all the activities and took care of the kids. We had about 15 children in this program. We created palm crosses, bunny puppets, bunny masks, Easter baskets, and cards. Yesterday afternoon we played duck duck goose. It surprised me that the adults didn't know what game we were playing. After that we had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. All the kids loved it and they all shared with each other which we are not used to. The children down here are so polite and love everything that we do. The Easter egg hunt was different than back home because they were only allowed to get 1 egg. I really enjoyed volunteering for the library and working with the parents and more children in the community. Only one of my students participated in this program so I got to know more students in the community.

  1. This is a Spring Break that these kids will likely always remember - what an opportunity for both them and you! It is quite interesting to share this whole experience through your eyes - a completely different travel experience. And that's no April Fool's joke!
