Greetings! we are group C. By far, the coolest group ever. The members of our team include: Carly, Erin, Colby, Carter, and Megan.
Well, yesterday morning we played games that helped us build trust in each other and "community." We had a delicious breakfast consisting of pancakes and bacon (that was from the ranch). Next, we learned a lot about GDP (Gross something something) and about population distribution. Then the night began.
In the "lottery," we had four pregnant mothers, Erin, Heidi, Mallory, and..... Carter :) We thought that was funny too. The babies were represented by water balloons that could not be popped. If they were popped, the entire family had to spend 30 minutes in mourning for the baby. Next, we distributed in to our family groups:
Thailand ( garden and elevated sleeping quarters) - Carter, Denver, Ben, Jacob, Walker, and Mandy
Zambia (vegetables and fire wood)- Colby, Mallory, Katie, and Randall
Guatemala (controlled water and richest) - Heidi, Madi, Ryan and Kendra
Urban Slums (less fortunate of all)- Megan, Erin, Carly, Cameron, Terri, and Weston
It was a very interesting night. First, Thailand was stealing the food from the other families and left the Slums with nothing. Then, after a series of agreements and bargains, all the families gathered around the Slums to eat dinner. (we had to do a lot of walking). We put all of our food together to make stew, cornbread, eggs, and rice (yuck!!!) For the rest of the night, before bed, the pregnant mothers and pregnant father gave birth.
Only two survived - Carter's "Jacob Jr." and Erin's "Xavier."
Sleeping was the worst part. Guatemala was the only place that had any type of bedding. Zambia had to sleep on concrete floors while the Slums and Thailand had wooden floors. (We'll show you pictures later). The next morning, the Slums were in charge of making another fire and cook breakfast for the other families. We had oatmeal and raisins.
Well, that's about it for now. We will post you in about five minutes from another group! Adios!
Awesome Team See.
