We just finished our final meeting before heading out for our trip on Monday. We are all very excited to finally be going. The packing materials are strewn about my living room for our various projects, ready to be organized into the suitcases. The Global Voice 2011 shirts are ready to go as well as our bracelets, which we ordered to give while we are down there. Our projects are coming together and everything is falling into place.
Each member of our group has planned a workshop to do with the kids. We have projects ranging from book making with paper bags and crafts to juggling, to cooking and making button bracelets, to guitar music songs and an obstacle course.
We also plan to have conversation partners so that we can learn Spanish and teach English through vocab cards, pictures and walking around pointing to stuff! It should be a blast and we are eager to learn more about ourselves, our group and our new friends. (I'm really excited about this part!!!)
Larger projects that we will work on in Mexico will be building a bike trail! This project will be a huge endeavor, but well worth the effort. Painting and sports are also on the agenda for our time. And whatever else pops up. :)
We can't wait to start our Loreto adventure.
Hasta pronto!
