A Day at La Raza

So today I went again and it was the second time I was there with all of the "chavos". They have a main room that is pretty big and then a kitchen, shower rooms, a wood shop and a clothing donation closet. This is the wood shop. They have the people who come help out. A bunch of them have been in jail where they have learned a lot about wood work and they make all kinds of stuff.


Later we walked to a park and played soccer or football... I kept saying I am horrible at soccer but they were like as long as you have fun. So I did. None of the other girls ended up playing- good one Jenelle. But I had to so it was funny, they laughed... My team won so we'll just leave it at that. They we played basketball for a whole 5 minutes. They didn't like it as much... we played 21 and my team totally won... after I guarded a guy on my team and stole the ball from him. He kept saying something but I couldn't understand him so I just kept going for the ball and finally I understood. He kept saying I'm on your team... but not in so many words. It was more like I'm your's which didn't click until it was too late and everyone was laughing at me. haha


Here's everyone that was there today.


And here is an old van on the side of the road. We passed it and Paty- the lady that is kind of like my mom when I'm over there- told me to take a picture. She was all excited that I had my camera today. She said that someone lives in there with her two kids. It's down the street from where I work.


Now a bunch of people are apparently coming over for a birthday fiesta so I'm excited :)

That was my day. Talk to you all later!
