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

Today we experienced the life of a migrant worker. We woke up at five a.m to get ready for the day, and split into two different groups to go to two different farms. We weeded for three hours, then went to the YMCA to shower and tidy up. After that, we went to the grocery store and split into "families". We then used our day's wages to buy meals for our individual families. We only had around six dollars or less to spend and had ten minutes to decide what we wanted to eat for dinner. When we got back, we had some down time and each family cooked their dinners. Any leftovers were stored for after we came back from playing with the migrant farmers' children. Before we went to Sunset, we went to other camps and told the people, "hola, hay un banco de comida manana" which in English says, "hello, there is a food bank tomorrow." Then we headed off to Sunset to play with the children for a while. They were so happy to see us again and painted our faces and played dodge ball. When we came back, we had reflection and finished our leftover food.
