Deering’s Service Learning Trip to Safe Passage in Guatemala

el 19 de abril

Today was a really fun day, if a bit exhausting and hectic. In the morning, we took a bus ride with some girls from Safe Passage to the Chuck E Cheese’s in Guatemala City. It was touching to see what a great time they had there, and they were so affectionate and energetic. After we got back, we went shopping some more and had some GREAT Korean food. And ice cream. We had our farewell dinner at a place called Cafe No Se, meaning Cafe I Don’t Know. We went home and packed, which was sad. See you all tomorrow! =¡

All the little girls loved to snuggle on the bus. They were so cute!

Our group was particularly successful at haggling down prices. We even managed to knock about 250 quetzales off the price of 2 different blankets, and made many other good deals.

This is the Guatemalan equivalent of our Buckle Up, It’s The Law signs. It’s a heart wearing a seat belt.

PS: Once we are back in the states videos of our trip will be upload. Come back soon to check.
