Today we started our day playing a pickup game of soccer with members of the Deportelibre foundation that we worked with yesterday. Afterwards, we had the chance to climb the lower sections of the structure we painted the day before. While we were climbing, some of us were interviewed for a promo video they were making that included our experience with them. When we were finished, we had a snack and exchanged our lions emblem for one of their foundations t shirts.
We then went to an artisanal market and spent an hour and half walking around the shops that held a variety of merchandise that included hand crafted wood instruments, soaps and spices, leather, ponchos, hedgehogs and lapis lazuli goods and jewelry. It was interesting to see many of the artists making their goods in their shops.
Afterwards we went to go eat a early dinner at an authentic Chilean restaurant before heading to a cold two hour soccer session with the U17 girls we worked with yesterday as well as girls from a local soccer school and an American school that Leti went to when she was a student here. We had the chance to scrimmage all three groups and continued to learn more about their style of play. We look forward to continuing to work with them as the week progresses.
day 3 over. we out.
