While in Mindo, a highlight was an afternoon of community service. While one group of students used machetes to clean up the town square, another group went to spruce up a playground. First we cleaned the grounds, which was full of liter and even the bones of dead animals. Then our students painted and repaired several swings. The kids on the playground slowly warmed to our kids. By the end, they were all covered in paint and helping our efforts. The day ended with piggy back ride races and giant hugs. Over at the town square a similarly beautiful story unfolded when citizens of Mindo saw our kids working and started coming out one by one with their machetes to help.
