Our Caribbean Group sent an exciting blog post from St. Vincent!:<\/p>\n

“The Caribbean team is well under way on their travels! We had a great first few days in Kingstown meeting the friendly locals, trying St. Vincent flavors and exploring the beautiful beaches and roads of the island ! On our way to the homestay in the countryside, we enjoyed some authentic bbq and a quick dip on the white sandy beaches of Kingstown. The Cupids welcomed us into their home with open arms and we\u2019ve been here now for four days. We kicked off our stay with a tour with some local kids of their little countryside town. By recommendation of the town locals, we found ourselves at a little waterfall and swimming hole within the first hour of our tour! Sometimes the best part of traveling is the unexpected. Nobody complained as we enjoyed some time sharing stories and dipping our toes in the water to cool down as the town kids swung from the trees and goats wandered on the hillside farmland. Every face we passed was a friendly one; everyone was eager to say hello and how are you. This place was already feeling like home from the start . As we made our way home we were invited into a local\u2019s shop for endless bananas and mangos for the group as he shared the history of his store with us. What a treat! Thank you Chris Humphrey!<\/p>\n

We enjoyed a lively church service with Pastor Cupid and the Lauders community on Sunday. We dressed in our Sunday best, sang a few of our favorite songs, clapped along to new ones, and met some local children that would be joining us at camp (and invited the town to spread word about our camp!)<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve now undergone three days of camp and it\u2019s been an absolute success! We\u2019ve had about 60 kids and teens show up. Whether we\u2019re playing a giant game of cricket or soccer, making friendship bracelets for each other, teaching them how to play chess and frisbee or them showing us how to pick coconuts; we\u2019ve had an absolute blast! We\u2019ve all made some great friends within the community. We\u2019ve began noticing some needs within the community and initiated some discussion regarding projects we\u2019d like to work on during our remaining time here in Lauders. We can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s in store!”<\/p>\n
