An Ecuador Experience

We went for a walk with the kids from the school, and they knew how to have fun. These two boys worked hard to break branches that were taller than them off a tree. They then started sword fighting with each other, smiling and laughing the whole time. I couldn’t stop laughing with them while they would playfully jab at each other. Even though these kids have so little, they know how to make the best of it, using the enviroment they have around them. They also helped smaller kids break off branches so they could join in the fun. I learned the most from these kids out of the entire trip. They showed me you only need imagination to have fun. The kids would pick flowers for us along the walk, and run, and jump in puddles. Their hearts were so big, and I realized that what you need in life, is a big heart and a smile like the kids from Cayambe.
