Day 3 - Danna and Adrien


This morning began with breakfast at the Nuuk Cheil Cottage soon followed by a short walk to the St. Jude R.C. School. We were greeted by the smiling faces of children awaiting some new playmates! An assembly took place in which we were introduced formally to the school and Danna and Tyler introduced the World Leadership School program. We were then divided into two groups: one began continuing the work on the library, pretending to know how to use the tools, while the other group ventured into the classrooms to play educational games and read with the students. Luckily, we quickly got the hang of using a hammer and saw so that we were able to start painting on our first day. At this rate, we are likely to see some windows installed by the end of our trip. Yay! At around noon, we had our lunch and spent our afternoon doing team building activities. Not only did we build spaghetti structures topped with marshmallows, but we also were given the chance to explore the village and talk with the locals about their lifestyle. Our evening was filled with group bonding, journal writing, and banana cake. Most importantly, we discussed our expectations of the homestay experience, as our first night with the families will be tomorrow. Shout outs to the Ghafir and Lhemann families! We love you and miss you.

P.S. Sorry about lack of photos. Our internet connection is slow so most of the pictures will have to be uploaded later.
