Transition Week!

Our week and a half transition has come to an end and now we are off to New Orleans!

Over our transition we did our official briefing and debriefing presentations about our projects, traveled around, caught up on sleep, ate a lot and spent time with old friends from other teams.

Gold 1 worked at the Sacramento Boys and Girls club over transition. We helped clean and organize but mainly we tutored and played with the kids. During our time there we also created the game of bouncy-pong…a small bouncy ball flew around the gym and everyone was spread out with ping-pong paddles…the object of the game was to hit the ball and try to not get hit by the ball. The kids were ages 6 to 18…there were about 50 each day. Popular activities included bumper pool, basketball, tennis, tether ball, pool, foosball and coloring. During their homework hour we led educational games including AweSUM and fun creative writing activities.

We are leaving for the Oakland airport (because it is cheaper to fly out of Oakland) at 2am tonight! We are spread out over two flights. Some of us will have a layover in Huston, Texas. Camp Hope here we come! More to come!
