Day two:

Hi this is Camille, today we were split into two groups and my group started off the morning by playing a game similar to Human Knot with teens about 16-20.

With the same class, another excercising began with two boys [Christian Cyr and a Guatamalan] shaking hands. We discussed objective an subjective perceptions related to who had the power. We continued to replace one [of the two people] at a time, the goal being to change yourself into being in the position of power, as our two groups analyzed the the power of the center people. Next our team divided into three groups, two people went to the art room where personal logos representing strength were created. Two people went to the kitchen to help prepare lunch (they taught the chefs how to twerk...!). I went with two others (Christian and Andi) to a Sex Education Health class where we showed them 'power' and relationship building games then a mini seminar about genitals - it was eye opening to see that none of the children laughed - it was an awakening of how serious of a matter it is.

We all went (as a team) into the kitchen, peeling Lima beans and dancing! Andi and I had the opportunity to hand out lunch to the younger kids

. We were able to select a -colligiate level- piece of artwork to buy (which were made by te children). The art class (called Expression Of Art) is is one form of therapy/ self discovery practiced at Safe Passage. After our lunch (juevos chorizo ((eggs mixed with sausage in bean soup and tortillas))), we went to a quite chaotic English class with the younger children. Though it was kind of an emotionally exhausting day, everyone had a great time!!! All in all, I know a lot of people - including myself - have been greatly inspired and are thinking about gap years through Safe Passage or other volunteer NGO's!
