In the morning, we started out dropping by "Scott's mission" (a soup kitchen). It was more of a hard working experiance. We had to set 25 tables of 6 less fortunate hungry stomachs and when they were done eating we cleaned up their messes. After we volenteered there, we set off on a lovely journey to a somalian community and tutored children from 4 years old to 16 and all different subjects. It was a fun energetic experiance. For lunch we ate "street meat" the name might be a little "turn around and walk away" type thing but it consisted of a hot dog made of meat either beef or chicken and a pop, not so bad. (we ate lunch before we tutored) :)
After toturing we went and met the other groups for another ethnic dinner. Pork steak, rice, lettuce and some crazy sauce.
I would say after we ate we had the most fun of the day (my oppion only) We went on a SANDWITCH RUN!! Where we diliver a PB and J to the homeless along the streets. The point is NOT the food, but a friendly conversation to let them know there is people out there to give them hope about their future. We encountered many people...you will hear MANY stories when we get back! :D
