| Employee painting pottery at Shicali |
Today the group all split up and went to different service sites. Brittany and I had the opportunity to go to La Red which is an NGO that works to place people with disabilities in jobs within the community. We spent most of the day talking with Rolando who is the director at the center. Also, we met other employees at the center and learned some of their roles within the organization. They are hoping we can help them translate some portions of their website as well as some documents they are hoping to use to raise funds in the US and other supporting countries.
We felt the pressure today of not being able to communicate freely because of the language barrier. The director spoke English well, but we still couldn't clearly share or really understand a lot of what was going on logistically today. I am tired today after working hard to be engaged and could definitely use a quiet corner to decompress. Tomorrow is our last day at the site. We are visiting the volcano where there is a school project and will probably work on translating documents for their organization.
