Day 5: In the swing of things

After our first day off in Westmoreland, we started the morning off with breakfast with our host family before leaving for our third day at the primary school.  At this point, we have all gotten a chance to experience different parts of the school and got to choose where we would assist.  Sama and Michael worked alongside the infant school while Sophie and Sean assisted the 6th graders who are preparing for their GSAT (high school entrance exam).  Meanwhile, Colton, Matt, and myself continued to paint the wall a beautiful shade of blue and gold.

After our day at the primary school, two great things occurred.  First, we were informed of our win against Louisville #GoHoos!  Secondly, we were told that we were allowed to go to the local pool.  Unlike pools in America, this manmade pool was filled with fresh spring water that was constantly flowing.  There was a rope swing attached which allowed for endless fun and taught us that some are not as strong as others.

Following the pool, we went back to our host families for dinner followed by a game of soccer with some of the kids in the neighborhood.  Lastly, we went back to the AOC for the Petersfield town meeting where we got to share with the community our experience so far on this trip.  I think I can speak for everyone when I say I have had a blast on this trip but am sad to leave in a few days.
