Visit to Cunupia High School
Well today our mission team held another program for approximatley 100 students ages 15-17 years of age at the Cunupia High School in Trinidad. We changed things up a bit today - Robman had a few Globetrotter moves up his sleeve which got the kids attention. The kids at this school had never before had anyone come to their school to speak to them or have interactive activities. Most of them had never seen a basketball before let alone hold one! In our program today, we talked about making wise choices with drugs, alcohol and sexual relationships. We did the same character building pyramid as we did at the other school. It was an awesome experience! Our mission team was the very first team to be invited to their school to speak and interact with the students. When our program was finished each child gave us a hug and said "thank you" for coming - we never have anyone come to talk to us and we never have FUN! Thank you for letting us have some fun!!! That was very gratifying - we built some relationships and have been invited to come back next year!! What a wonderful feeling to have connected with them in just a few short hours.....we left them with a sports bag and some basketballs to use at their school. We definitely have them on our list for the return visit!
