Day 26 Visit to the schools

Today was a rough day. We went early to our first school. It was mostly pavement with the hot sun shining down on us. It gets really hot and tiring with that sun beating down on you. After three schools in a row, you are exhausted. We sang some songs, put on a skit, and went over the Gospel presentation with them. We were there for about an hour. After that school we went to Monte Grande. It is a beautiful school up by the mountains. Those kids are soo well behaved. We have gone to visit them for a few years now and they remembered most of the songs that we sang. After Monte Grande we headed over to a high school with 450 kids. We put on the same show, but this was more fun because some of the kids that we support in the scholarship program go there, so we were able to see them (You can donate money to send some of these kids to school because otherwise they stop going after middle school....just ask me about it if you are interested. Its one of the new programs that Julio started) Once we finished with that school we headed to the camp and had lunch. We also thanks Gustavo Frati and his son for giving us so much of his land for all of these kids. We came back to the hotel and swam for a few hours while John made a power point presentation for Julio to give tonight to the rest of the team. We are hoping that this will get more people interested in donating to his ministry. Im sitting in the room right now with John waiting for the rest of the team to come upstairs so that Julio can give his presentation. After he does this, we will head off to an early bedtime. Tomorrow is a work day at the farm where we will clean, paint, and put gravel down to make a pathway!
