Before we met with the other class we had been scheduled to visit a women's work organization. One of the leaders of this organization had his tongue removed and was difficult to understand but I found that his willingness to speak with to us and involvement in this organization were all very thoughtful. He turned out to be a really nice man.
The women's organization hired housewives who had some time during the day in between their household duties to make money. They offered free training during time that best accommodated the women as well as reasonable wages. We visited one the work places and found it to be very good and well managed, the workers all seemed to be happy as well.
The first surprise of the day was visiting a school where the children flocked in large numbers to shake our hands and ask us our names. It was really fun seeing all these kids go nuts over seeing us and being able to make them smile just by being there. They even though Jules was Obama!
The rest of the day would be rather boring as we went on to random sites such as backyard farms and fire ant infested lands.
The second surprise of the day was getting to see the beach again. When we went out for lunch we all made our way over there to get our feet wet. This 30 minute lunch break turned into an hour and a half beach photo shoot and was very fun.
