Skits and Games

Yesterday the girls were placed into groups of four and given a location, i.e. the beach, a restaurant, school, or a park.  They were told the following day they were going to present their environmental protection--the current topic we are discussing-- skits to the camp.  Well today was that day and the majority of the groups got really into the project and had performances that were really impressive and some even made me laugh.  We then started the workshop on 'What Makes a Good Leader' and will continue with this topic tomorrow.

The girls couldn't wait to hit the beach and start playing after the taller!  This was because we started playing actual softball games and yesterday's game was tied at 2-2.  Unfortunately, I had to be the bearer of bad news and tell them that we would have to switch teams because there were girls that were there yesterday that weren't there today and there were some that came today, but missed yesterday.  Not to mention I didn't write down who was on what team--my bad girls.  In addition to having two fellow Peace Corps friends that are helping out at the camp, I talked to a few high schoolers and offered them leadership opportunities as 'camp counselors.'  So the games are really their time to shine.  They are the coaches of the two teams and have to create the lineup and shuffle their players in the field.  I am proud to say that with limited training, one Sunday I spoke to them and gave them a brief rundown of what their responsibilities would be, they are doing a good job coaching up these girls. 

Quote of the Day: One of the campers got a splinter during the softball portion of the day and one of our camp counselor said, "Don't worry I have a knife" and started going to work with the knife on the grils finger.
