Day 6 (Dylan Young)




Hey what’s up everyone it’s Dylan Young. So today we went to the village and split into two different groups of 5. One of the groups went to the school for the first two hours, and the other group went and worked on the school again. So I went to the school first and taught the kids colors, months, and weather in English. It was a good experience as everyone was interactive and fully energetic. After that I went to the service project, where it is still very slow as we are leveling out the ground. Then we took a lunch break and came back to the village around two in the afternoon. We beaded with the Maasai women and they went absolutely bananas that we were willing to work with them; it was such a surreal feeling. That was the end of our day and we went back to camp and ended our day. I have learned so far that as Americans we have to stop worrying about the small things in life that in the big scheme of things it is nothing. We are so consumed with material things, and should worry about things that help other people and the world around us. So far this experience has just been so unreal, and I am so thankful that I have had the opportunity to do something this special. It has honestly been life changing.
