CABO!

Today we wound down by winding back up with a card game called “Cabo” that Alex from the Center was excited to share with us. The rules are tricky, but after a few hands, some of us emerged victorious. 

Earlier today we shadowed students throughout their day at the Center’s school. Our experiences ranged from Origami to Play-Dough on the artistic side of things. We struggled to relearn fractions and even had to lower ourselves to “snitch” status when a sneaky student took out his phone. Later, we ventured out into the surrounding neighborhoods to visit with families and learn from their experiences and gracious hosting. We were moved by the overwhelming vulnerability, generosity, and curiosity about us. The families fed us a local corn dish that was a wonderful gift of local flavor and left us full and asking about our own hopes and dreams. Plenty to think on with that question often posed to us on our way out.
