Migrant Immersion Day!!!

Today started off with waking up at 5:30 and making breakfast! At 6:00 we circled up and talked about what was planned for us today which included working on a farm, shopping with the amount of money a migrant worker make for a certain amount of hours handing out fliers for our food bank tomorrow, and ending the day playing dodge-ball. All of this led us to work in solidarity. When we went out to the farm where we weeded many plants including, strawberries, swish chard, zinnias, and spinach. During the trip at the farm to make the time fly we would make up stories sentence by sentence that had incredible plot twists and intriguing beginnings. After this we went shopping with the amount of money we would have earned from shopping that morning. Groups earned $4.50 to $6.00 and managed to get enough for a fulfilling meal. After this we came back and made dinner our selves only using the things we bought at the store, tools in the kitchen, and water. When everyone finished dinner we took a little rest and then left to hand out fliers to the migrant workers at the camp with information on them about our food drive the next day. When we got to the last camp after we finished out fliers we were able to play with the children and teens at the camp. This included many fun games of dodge-ball and basketball, playing on the play set, coloring, and making bracelets. When we left, the children were sad to see us go, but glad to here we will be back on Thursday. Gathering back at the parish center we had closing reflection and talked about our day. It is now time for bed. 

Goodnight.
