Week 1: St. Louise and Sacred Heart Enumclaw - Monday

Monday=Funday! Today we started off the day with a substantial breakfast. We had opening circle and learned about St Claire of Assisi and focused on the gift of knowledge. Next, we did a puzzle activity to gain a deeper understanding about fairness and using the gift of knowledge. There were 6 groups, each with a different scenario ranging from a Swedish ski trip to paying off debt as a migrant worker. Everyone got a ribbon, and if someone pulled an end of the ribbon and the ribbon went undone, it was theirs. You couldn't get other people's ribbons until the puzzle was completed. Group number six had the hardest puzzle with over half the pieces missing and were therefore not able to complete the puzzle and couldn't pay off the debt of the family. However, they had more group members to demonstrate how many people in our world experience that scenario or something similar. Group number one completed their 24 piece puzzle within minutes. They made a million dollars a year and if the puzzle was completed, they would get a ski trip to Sweden. They then proceeded to take everyone else's ribbons. It was unfair, but we used the gift of knowledge to attempt or complete the puzzle. We then had lunch after doing a fun name game and team building exercise. We visited Sunrise (the migrant worker camp) and played with the children for 2 hours, then collected donations at stores to use in the food bank. Today was one to remember.
