Orientation for Casita Linda
Authored By:
Good evening!
Today we started off by meeting some of the team members of Casita Linda to learn more about our next service site. This organization helps resource-poor families get a house of their own. Our students had a lot of questions about the organization and how it worked, and they are super excited to get to work on Monday!
Since it was nice and sunny today, we decided to eat our lunches in the main plaza in San Miguel de Allende. It was so nice!
In the afternoon, we had a Spanish class where we learned about Frida Kahlo in preparation for this weekend's trip to her museum. We had fun acting out her life!
Everyone is now off to bed early so we can be up and at 'em tomorrow for our trip to Mexico City!
