We returned to the school, Escuela De La Comunidad Mata De Platano in Luqillo. We worked delighted to scrape paint off of the pavilion. We cleared the back of the schoolyard with rakes with Ilu's dad, while D.J. and Adam had an interesting discussion about politics. There was an adorable chihuahua mix mutt that was at the school. The dog was very friendly and Louise fell in love with him. She got approval from the people at the school to adopt the stray. Then she got approval from her husband and the vet. She adopted this stray dog and is going to give it a loving home. Now, she will have two dogs. Then after, we finished at the school we returned to the camp and had lunch, followed by an hour-long bus ride to the Boys and Girls Club of Puerto Rico where we helped children. The facility is very nice and offers tutoring to the children, along with a place for them to express themselves. Sabrina and Ronnie tried to help children with their homework, even though they knew some Spanish but not enough to be fluent, but they did help the one kid learn the difference between similes and metaphors. Natalie and Rachel communicated with a few children. In the teenage area, Wyatt and TJ helped a student with his English and Math homework. In the gym, the majority of the Penn State Greater Allegheny-New Kensington group played basketball with the kids and we're excited to spend time with the children and brighten their day. In the Lobby, the children danced and had fun playing with toys. At the end of the trip, we danced with the children to songs such as Baby Shark and the Meringue. Then we returned to camp and had a flounder and rice dinner.
