Life Changing

Today was unbelievable. We woke up at 7:30 and left for camp around 8:00. When we got to camp we got introduced to our groups of kids by playing "get to know you" games. We then had breakfast and went on a "treasure hunt" of the kibbutz to teach the kids where the different places are at the kibbutz that they will be going to throughout camp. After the treasure hunt we received our t-shirts and hats and we began the "Around the World" program. Our teacher Edna is teaching about Kenya. We played trivia games and bingo. It was really interesting and fun. The kids in my group are incredible. I'm going to see if I can remember all their names. Okay there is Eden, Baruch, Noa, Vered, Shahara, Asaf, Ofir, Noam, Otzar, Tal, Tali, Katrin, Matan, Alex, Meital, and Avital. WOW I can't believe I just remembered all my kids names haha. They are all about 10 and 11 years old. The girls in the group were all crowded around me for the whole day, they couldn't stop touching
me, playing with my hair, looking at my manicure, say oooh ahhh over my jewelry. It was so sweet, everyone is so amazing. After camp we went to Yoav's kibbutz to go swimming. Then we went back to the dorm to get ready for class. We had class for a few hours and then we had a really nice dinner with Nora Barron (the donor for the trip), Lori, the mayor of the Jezreel Valley, Matt Silver (our professor), and the camp staff. The food was so good and I ate way too much. Tomorrow will be a long day again, we have camp in the morning and then we are touring the city of Akko in the afternoon into the evening.
