Aug. 28
So today was our first actual day of service. First thing in the morning we were blindfolded
and being dropped off at an unknown spot in chicago and had to find our way back. After that we spent an hour or two at the Leland House which is a half-way type house for homeless people who are getting on their feet. All the residents of the house have kids in school. What we (eight or so of us on our own initiative) did was fill up about 30 backpacks for the kids who are heading back to school. All of the school supplies were donations. it probably took about 2 hours in a very small room stuffing backpacks with the donations for each child.

Leland House
Aug. 29
Today each group went to different churches to get an experience of the culture they will be staying in. We (Team Bolivia) attended Iglesia Roca Eterna (Church [of the] Eternal Rock) which was a spanish speaking church. although the service was in spanish the church was so small that they openly welcomed us and even had some one step up to translate. I understood much of the spanish already but it was nice to have the translator for every once in a while.
