80 hours

I've been meaning to write a really long post and catch up on all the things in the past 5 months since I last blogged. But that would take a long time.

So I'm starting fresh. And hopefully I can find more time to tell more stories.

The best news I have these days is that, this July, I will be going here on a humanitarian trip:

I can't wait.

But in order to go to Peru I have to do 80 hours of service in the community (I'm half way there!).

and THAT, my friends, is what I want to blog about.

Real Life in Salt Lake

The goal of the organization is to get the kids accustomed to life in a new environment and to feel accepted by their peers.

The teenagers who participate in Real Life are refugees who have come from all over the world. So, basically we just get together after school 3 times a weeks and have a good time.

We do fun things like relay races, bowling, and sports.
We do educational things like learning how to budget and how to make ice cream.
We go on really awesome field trips to the Natural History Museum and The Leonardo.

(By the way, has anyone ever been to the Leonardo?? It's the coolest place!)

It's pretty much the best thing ever. Super fun and super exhausting.
