Little Lebowski's Peri-Urban Achievers Camp

A PC volunteer friend of mine (working in Barranquilla),  a community member, a few high school students, and myself are starting a two week leadership/softball camp for the girls of 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade in La Boquilla.  There will be a workshop followed by softball skill stations in the morning.  Then the girls will return home for a Costeño lunch break, three hours.  We will then return to the beach at 3:00, to a sun that has hopefully set a little bit, and play an actual game.  My goal is to write 10 blogs over the next 14 days; A blog per day of the camp.  These blogs will be short and highlight a cool workshop activity, a funny event, or some of the priceless quotes that these hilarious girls have already said.    

Day 1

In addition to the workshop my friend and I decided that we better teach these girls a dance a day.  So todays task was the Chicken Dance.  After finding out that there was no internet --I should have known-- we had no choice but to sing/hum the song while demonstrating the dance.  And as you can imagine the girls had a field day and the laughter was plentiful.  However, after they calmed down a bit and learned the moves, they all danced the Chicken Dance like I thought only a true Gringo could.
