Camp Day 3 – Salome and Win-Win Negotiation

11 Jul

Today was our second day of regular camp activities of reflection, English, and math. We learned about Salome, the original helicopter mom, today. We’ve also been learning the theme song of the week “Count on Me” by Bruno Mars. Loud thunder woke us up from our siestas, just in time for the craft – picture frames!

The older girls continued to learn another concept around negotiation. Yesterday the main message was that negotiation is not a competition. Today it was to know your interests (or your why?) and listen to the other person’s, so you can work together to build a win-win solution. The section started with two people wanting the last available lemon. How would you negotiate that situation to achieve a win-win?

Craft – “God listen to my prayers” The girls wrote their prayers – visible or hidden under the hearts.
Sister Fifi explaining to Kathy the three varieties of plantains and guineos grown on the property.

Some of the girls with their frames. They used washi tape, stickers, and sharpies.

Tonight’s audience is ready!
The cast of Salome, mediana-pecenas and pecenas.
The cast of the lemon story – a play about negotiation. It provoked good discussion after.

Sister Fifi sang with her guitar, which is always a treat. The Sisters are so loving to these girls. They really serve as the ‘hands and feet’ of Jesus to the poorest girls. You can tell see the growth in the girls who’ve been at the home for a while. I will post about the graduation and graduates soon.

Thank you for reading! We’ll have more for you tomorrow si Dios quiere!
