BLOG DAY DOS, SANTIAGO

\We began volunteering at Fundación Deporte Libre, a nonprofit organization that transforms abandoned buildings into public, urban and free sporting facilities. The building we worked on was an old abandoned silo, surrounded by trash and stray dogs. The building is now covered in artsy graffiti and a rock climbing wall. Our job was to paint stairs and window frames. 
We ended our work drenched in paint and happiness. We're excited to keep working with this group tomorrow and try out their rock climbing wall. 

Later in the day, we got the opportunity to visit the Club Deportivo de Universidad Católica as well as train with the club's highly selective U17 girls team and their adult team, many of who play on the national team. During the tour of the stadium, each of us got to hold the club's trophy from the championship game of the Chilean national tournament. Despite our initial anxieties about playing with such an elite group, the experience was inspiring and gratifying. The girls were welcoming and fun, and we managed to keep up rather well. It was also super interesting to scrimmage the younger teams, because it gave us insight into the competitive process of girls soccer in Chile. 

day 2 over. we out.
