On our last day of our trip, we woke up early this morning to volunteer at the local food bank, where we were given the task of packaging deodorant. It was a little chaotic at first, but we soon learned to work together in an assembly line, and actually ended up getting a lot of work done. A few of us also got to put together care packages for families, which included foods and other goods that they may not be able to get themselves. It was a different kind of volunteering than we'd done at other organizations on this trip, which made it all the more interesting and fun of an experience.
We then went to play a soccer match with a different team from the same organization as the one we played with on Monday. The team was made of an older group of girls, which, along with the high elevation, made it a difficult game, but we still managed to learn a lot. By the end of the game, we were working together much better, and we could see how we've all improved over the course of the trip.
After the game, we sat in a circle, and had some fun reflecting on our trip with some wise words from both our coaches and Sierra. We had some fun goofing around for a while, and tried doing some flick-on headers, as well as other soccer tricks. We played a competition of short-short-long, and even though the better team (Bella, Alex, Quinn, Casey, and Sara) suffered an unfortunate loss, we really had a lot of fun.
Our last day in Colombia was definitely a memorable one.
We out.
