Week 7: St. Anthony's and St. Joseph's-Monday

For our first full day of AGAPE, we went out to grocery stores and tabled for food donations for the local migrant families. Our group had a great time being positive and received good feedback and many donations. In the early afternoon, we were able to go to the migrant community and play with the young kids who aren't able to act like kids all of the time because of their parent's are constantly gone working in the fields. We did relay races, we played soccer with them, sang and acted camp songs, and made friendship bracelets. Once we got back to Sacred Heart we immediately were put into a migrant family food bank simulation where we had to choose a certain amount of food and create a dinner from the food we choose at the food bank. That was not as fun as the other activities. Because we had to figure out to cook the food and then eat it, which did not end well for any of us.
