Service

On Tuesdays and Thursdays (when we don´t have excursions), we have the opportunity to do community service here in Mérida. Half of the group (Colson, Katie, Ellis, Lanae, and Jessica), go to El Pastoral de Amor, which is a home for severely disabled kids. The service rendered is helping painting walls, and they get to interact with the kids as well becuase they are around! The other half of the group (Linda, Sarah, Rochelle, Hilary, and Dannielle), go help clean up a medicine bank that is run by a shelter for families that come to Mérida to get medical care, but who can´t afford to live in the city. The shelter is run by nuns, and they have a medicine bank that they are starting back up, but the room was very dirty, and so the group is cleaning and oranizing it, and throwing away the expired medicines.

We are so greatful that we had the opportunity to do service, and we hope the service we do will bless many lives!
