St. Louis Day 3

Tuesday, June 21, 2022:
We began our day with some breakfast which most of the students picked toast and Fruit Loops. Then we headed to LifeWise to begin our service. First we hung out with the kids and then did our daily cheers and chants. We our getting better at our Harambee even though its only day 2. Due to the hot conditions we did service in the morning. We helped sand down some of the benches and tables before they were stained. Then we got out the hose and some buckets to help water the plants which was really fun. Some of us even got wet. After our service we went back to the house and had our daily sandwiches for lunch. When lunch was finished we stopped back at LifeWise to play Monopoly with a twist. Each player had a set of rules they had to follow. They were all different and reflected different socioeconomic statues. For example player one got to play the game normally with no rules. On the other hand player three had to go to jail every time they rolled a 7 or higher. Now that’s unfortunate rules, but player 4 got to start out with $3,000.  We played Monopoly like this today to teach us what its like to be in the shoes of a person not as fortunate as other but also learn about the different parts of the city that do not have as much materials to provide for the community. It was a good learning experience for all of our students today. After we finished at LifeWise we headed back to the house before we went to our fun place for the day. Due to the time we were not able to go to the zoo but we got to go Mini golfing. It was really fun and we were able to get some ice cream after. Then we headed back to cook some dinner. Tonight’s special was spaghetti with a salad. It was a great day and now we’re on too day 4.
