This past weekend Tommy, Spencer, Travis, Ciara, Elisabeth, Kylie, Scott and Lindsey ventured to the Calvin Center and took part in the Global Village (GV). We pretty much lived like Haitians without actually going to Haiti. We lived like the poorest of the poor, struggled with our emotions with little food, worked for money to buy food at the market, slept in a brick building, ate dinner from a trash bag and enjoyed some fried insects for a special treat. All-in-all, this group laughed, played, struggled, questioned, became frustrated with one another, and became a super close group by the end. It's amazing how eating fried insects can bring a group closer!! Enjoy the photos!
This picture was taken on the first night. Although we had just eaten dinner of less than a handful of beans and rice, notice the smiles, the clean clothes and energy!
