Diggs, Justine, KK, Nate, Stan and Shaq
As first time visitors to Guatemala, Nate, KK and I [Justine] all feel that the children at our camp are a part of our family.
Our first time to the camp was very surprising. The trip itself was unexectped, yet very welcoming. The children all welcomed us and displayed their level of respect. As the first week came to an end, we knew that we had to cut 20 girls and 16 boys so that we can have an official team.
After we made the cuts, we then realized the amount of responsibilities that they had. Many of the children had to return to work so that they could support their family.
The experience is bittersweet. Nonetheless, we all enjoy the company of the children.
