We have had a busy couple days! For a day and a half, we partnered with the youth group of Brainerd Baptist Church and worked alongside the missionaries of Hope for the Inner City in Chattanooga, TN. We were assisgned to different projects throughout the day and our biggest project was helping to get a playground started for the campus! The girls worked hard, I was very proud of them!
This afternoon, we joined an assembly at Prospect Elementary School in Cleveland, TN. The kids at this school have raised money in the past to help purchase equipment for the team; as a "thank you" we spent an afternoon with them! The girls taught the kids about Dominican culture and demonstrated their skills by playing a 5 point volleyball game. Each student picked a side and cheered on each point. The girls told me afterwards that they felt like they were playing in a professional game because the kids were cheering so loud!
Check out the pics from yesterday and today!
