Mission completed..and then some

Hey parents, siblings and Mrs. Kuhn,

The Belize trip is amazing and today didn’t disappoint any of us. After washing our laundry we packed up sunscreen and got ready to go back to La Democracia for half a day to finish our “knee wall”(which ended up being a waist wall). All of the local kids pitched in and helped us work. It showed all of us how much they appreciated what we were doing. We formed relationships with all of they kids. We saw them doing phenomenal back flips and other gymnastic moves. They tried to teach us but it didn’t work that well so we taught them how to play cards. We also played with a baby brown dove that fell out of its nest. The kids’ bright smiles definitely lit up the rest of our day. After leaving La Democracia, we got ready for a three-hour canoe trip down the Sibun River. We got our canoe groups and dipped in for a swim. Then we were ready. We went down a small rapid with a hard turn at the end and then we were off. The trip was fantastic! All along the way we stopped to cool off and swim in the river. In the final stretch, all of the canoe groups had a race to the finish. Today was awesome and we made amazing friendships. What more can you ask for?
