Day three

Reporting live from Guatemala; we are on our way back after another fantastic day. The group split up into two groups again today. Andi and mike's group me with kids at the CRE who were between 15 and 18 years old. They started with a game that was a bit complicated. With numerous people paired with the language barrier, the complex game to not translate well. Time to act, and they quickly recovered with a fun game called "zoo". After the games, the group headed to the cafeteria for a craft. White capes, masks and markers were passed out to the kids. Their task was to name their super power, hero name, and to create what their cape and mask would look like. The activity was a great success; the kids were very involved. 

After lunch, we got chocolate bananas as per usual.  Then it was off to la escuelita.  We participated in gym class, which involved Mike and Teddy chucking water balloons at everybody while they tried to catch them.  Then we did sponge relays where Mike sprayed everybody without getting quite as wet.  The final activity involved the kids going down a slip 'n' slide.  Teddy was in charge of keeping it slippery by pouring soapy water on it.  By the end, everyone was completely soaked except for Mike.  To make matters worse, one of the vans had a flat tire, meaning that some people in the van weren't able to access the clean clothes stored in their rooms because members of the van with the flat tire had the room key.
