What I did on my summer vacation...

During training we did not have a ton of free time. But there were days where we had "SDA" time. This is Self Directed Activities. Below are some pictures of what we as a group chose to do as our self directed activity. We figured it was community integration since a lot of the village kids would come out and watch or play with us. And it was good bonding time for us as volunteers as well as relaxation and a mental break from language classes and English education tech sessions.

Friendly game of touch football




Summer days are hot. Bethany and Isaac taking a little break before heading back out to the field.


Erika with Erin's host sister and our little buddy Ion (


Eventually the football gets put away and the frisbee comes out.




But that was just the warm up...anyone down for some Ultimate Frisbee.






Our buddies play too!!





Can't have a spectator sport without spectators (r-l: Annika, Cailyn and Kate)


End of the day, Isaac has a pull up contest with Ion
