Monday: The first day I arrived at school at 7: 20, then I went to Mr.Stark classroom. In the classroom there where 7 girls and 3 boys, at 7:27 Mr. Stark conducted us to the buses to get a bus that will take us to Hogar Santa Rita. The bus left us in a Spinning Center Gym, and we didn't know where to go even Mr. Stark. So we started walking down looking for the foundation, Mr. Stark asked once where the direction was but the lady didn't know so we continue walking down, we even arrived to "la septima". Then a doorman told us where was the foundation it was the other way we were walking. When we arrived the people didn't know we were coming so we presented ourselves like Cng, ninth grade students, who came to help. They divided us into 3 groups Osos, Tigres and Abejas. I was a Tigre they took us with the osos to a class that was all covered in carpet and asked us to take of our shoes. Then they told us to put some blankets so the kids can lay down there. When we were placing the blankets the first child arrived, Lorenzo Gomez went to carry her to a blanket. The girls was paraplegic, and couldn't talk, when Lorenzo finished carrying her, he went and wash his hands because the girl was wet and had a really bad odor. The more and more kids starting to come the nurses were the ones carrying them to the blankets. Then when all the children where laying down in the blankets, they asked us to massage them with some things like mittens with different textures and sponges. After 2 hours we all leave the class and they divided us into 3 groups again some went to give food to the kids, others to fold clothes and others to type in a computer. i went to fold clothes, the clothes were extremely hot and had a really bad odor. After 1 hour and a half we change with the computer people. Then we started typing the information from the volunteers of the foundation. 

Tuesday: The second day when we arrived to the foundation we started making board games for the kids we worked in it for 3 hours. Then we maked puzzles for 1 hour. And after that we went to fold beds in two rooms.

Wednesday: That day we worked in cutting the grass of the park the one it was really unclean and had many insects, contaminated water. At the start we needed to take the park toys to clean them and wash them. It took a lot of soap and water to clean the toys because they had a lot of bacteria. After that we needed to take the grass from the brick whith our hands and the take the roots whith a metal stick. That took us all the that.
