The first day in La Carpio was kind of hard, we had to level rodes, so we can pave them. Almost everyone was covered in dirt! It was great to interact with the local, esspecially the children. The children were so funny, a few of us walked into the wrong house, and the kids showed us which way to go. Then they ran back and called their grandfather and sang "Gringos in la casa". This was hands down the best moment we've had so far.
The second day were warmer, and easier work. We moved cement from the cement mixer, to different spots around the community. Hands down the best part of day 2 was when we were leaving. It was so touching. We thanked the people of La Carpio and gave them a small donation. In return they baked us two cakes and sada. Following that we had fun with a pinnata. Many people gathered and watch three students make fools of themselves trying to break the pinnata. On our way back to the vans we gave kids hugs and said our goodbyes, but there were a few funny kids who bumped us, and we got into a playfull wrestling match with them. I actually was sad to leave, because i actually had a lot of fun in La Carpio.
