Today was the hardest project out of the all the days. Fundacion Justo y Necesario is a daycare for children of middle income families. We were set to work building a wall. I had never done anything of the sorts before. We were mixing cement and using concrete blocks to build the wall from teh ground up. The place was the nicest out of all of them, but there was alot of work to be done. After a morning of work, we got to play with the hcildren and make bracelets. We all sat at this long table and worked side by side. A woman came to show us how to make the bracelets, and we were to assit the kids and help. It definitely went the other way. The girls seemed to finish their bracelets quick like and I needed all the help. The best part was simply sitting around with all of them and communicating. We talked about all kinds of stuff and I really felt connected with them. Everyone was enjoying themesleves so much that we didn't even realize when the bus came to pick us up. After work, we went and bought supplies for the four different locations. We spent about $50 on items they need. The we went to the market to shop around. I bought a couple things including a really nice piece of artwork. One of my friends actually almost got pickpocketed twice by the same little kid. The first time was inside and then when we were leaving, and our teacher bought his an icee, he tried it again. I know that they are struggling and have nothing, but he had no morals either. Instead of the usual spanish lesson, we had a political speaker come. The information was good but it was so incredibly boring. Half way through the speech, you look around and see half the group nodding off. They couldn't help it. It was slow and he was just reading off the powerpoint. It could have been much better with a better deliverance. Some us went out to this nearby hotel for dinner. Fourstar and cheap. The only thing that bothered me was how overly assertive they were. They were so attentive they appeared like slaves as opposed to our waitors. I didn't even want to ask for anything. Something else I noticed is when we went somewhere and were spending money, they would put on American music. They want us to feel welcome and at home, but I am trying to embrace myself in their culture and let go of my own customs. After dinner, we went to a cigar bar on the Malecon for awhile and then back to the hotel for sleep.
