Today 7/12/16 we woke up at the crack of dawn, 5:15 a.m. in order to get all of our work done! After a hearty breakfast, we drove over to Breckenridge Blueberry farm and had to weed for about an hour. After that, we picked blueberries for about 45 minutes. I picked 9 pounds of blueberries! Having to imagine what it would be like to pick berries for 15 hours every day; and then imagining that we had only done a fraction of that time, was shocking to think about. After having sandwiches for lunch, we drove to the YMCA to take a shower (it felt so good to be clean)! Then, we went back to Sunrise Migrant Camp to play with the kids. It was so fun! Today was a great day; it was so fun to put myself in the migrant worker's shoes, but also difficult because I was hungry and we couldn't have snacks in between meals. However, overall was a very good day. I can't wait for tomorrow! :)

Today is Tuesday the 12th. Starting at 5:15am, we got up and ate breakfast in an attempt to fill our empty stomachs. Then we proceeded to go to a farm to understand the struggles of farm life. From pulling weeds to feeding the cows, it was an exhausting 4 hours. afterwards we received our first shower in three days, which was glorious! We were then given our daily wage to create a dinner. My family decided to team up and combine our money($11.25) and feed 9 people. We succeded in feeding that many by pancakes, eggs and bacon. We then went back to the Migrant camp and Played with the children until it was time to go. And after our extremely long day, we are currently eating leftovers from dinner as I speak. signing off and excited for our food bank tomorrow, Jack H.
