This morning the counselors passed out red wristbands to half of us. At first, we didn't know what they were for. Afterward we played radioactive spider web where you had to get through a string obstacle course without touching it. Later we realized that the people without wristbands had more privilege. They could army crawl, or dodge half the obstacles
, while the wristband group could not. Eventuality everyone made it through. At lunch, the wristband group had to make lunch, while the other group played. Though, the wristband group didn't even get to eat the lunch they made, they had to eat another lunch they made. This shows that some people have more privileges for no reason. Later in the afternoon, we went to Sunrise and played with the migrant workers' kids.Then we split up and went to grocery stores and asked people to donate food for the migrant workers. We received a lot of food. Overall, we had a great day today!
We collected a lot of food for the food bank. We are really excited to get to serve on Wednesday, and we will see you all there!
I was fortunate to be an adult supervisor for part of this mission. I was very impressed with the Western counselors. Thank you all for being there to help the students from ST Catherine school and to see some of the positive assistance we are giving together to the Bellingham community, and migrant workers specifically. This is a real good thing! Your friend in AGAPE, Joe C.
