A Visit to Pakay Chikta

During our trip to the community Pakay Chikta, we were able to do a lot of exciting things in the community.  We spent time with the students and their families, built bookshelves for their classrooms, cut down weeds with machetes in their soccer field, and ate an authentic lunch of rice and vegetables wrapped in banana leaves.  While we were at the community a local farmer was kind enough to take us on a tour of his land and showed us his crop of yuca plants, plantain trees and corn stocks.  These are all important foods for him to harvest in order to make an income off his land.  The local farmers work very hard keeping up with their land so they can sell their fruits and vegetables and provide an income for their families.

At the end of the day we united as a group and played a community soccer game with the students from the school.  Their soccer skills were incredible and we all had so much fun!
