Day 5 - 10: Centerpoint Church

Hi all!

This week has been eventful for sure! This week, I have been given the privilege to work with a team from Centerpoint Church in Cincinatti, Ohio, some of which I have gotten to know really well.

With a mixture of age from the group, I was included into conversations with high school students to college-age kids as well as a few adults. A group of 21 gives a girl a great amount of people to get to know and make memories with.

 This team worked on building the upcoming preschool and kindergarten school so that the school system Project Manana has set up can grow. (pictures of this to come)

One day this week, we were able to take a trip to another community called Cien Fuegos, or 100 fires in Spanish. We were able to assemble over 20 water filters and pass out almost 50 pairs of shoes to kids in this impoverish community. I was even able to fit a pair of shoes on a kid.

I decorated one of the filters and took a picture with the guy who received the water filter I decorated and assembled, after explaining how we are like the dirty water put inside the filter before God changes us into something pure. 

One highlight of this trip was the opening night of the churro cart that Project Manana has decided to purchase and run to help raise funds for the organization. Funny enough, it was named after and based off of the Executive Director, Brian Berman, who is also my supervisor here (pictured below).

This group leaves tomorrow morning early, so more relaxing time for me continues this week as there is only a team of 4 or 5 this week.

Until next time!
