Today, we spent much of the day planning and acclimating to the new environment. We took some time to go to a new school, which is slightly farther away than last year, and we learned a great deal about what these people suffer daily. After seeing the garbage dumps for the third time today, I'm still overwhelmed when I visit them. The incredible stench, the poignant images of families looking for food scraps, and the emaciated dogs and horses walking over the broken glass will always create a lasting sensation in my mind.
As well as a new school, we are seeing new faces and new team members. Carlos Andrés is the International Samaritan leader. He is from Antigua, Guatemala. Though he's never been to an English speaking country, he speaks excellent English.
The weather is still hot, though, and the jungle is still beautiful.
Looking forward to a great week,
Nate
