We are here!

After 36 hours of traveling, with little and often interrupted sleep, we are here at Hope Center.  Arriving at 2:30 am we crashed in any beds available.  Today was a day to acclimate to the new time and get some rest.  We also practiced some of our skits, moved into the rooms we will be staying in for the rest of camp.  Most team members had some time to run to the market, exchange money, and get some ice cream.  Tonight we had a meeting with all the workers and volunteers at camp.

Our team of 6 from Riverside, is joined by 2 from Texas Steve and his daughter Melody, and from Colorado a family of 5 Steve, Nicole, Ethan, Dylan and Aubrey. In addition we have 6 interns, From Minnesota Christine and Judith, from Virginia Sarah, And from England Hannah, Emily, and Babs.

The first group of kids comes tonight just after midnight.  Tomorrow we officially start camp with most of the kids arriving between 10 am and 3pm.
