Day 6 (Diamond)

Today was a very special day for me because we went to go visit an orphanage. T-Spence told us why we were going there. He said that we were going to see kids that was there because their parents had HIV. When we went inside of the orphanage, I thought I was going to scream because I saw different color couches. The color of the couches were: pink, purple, goldilion, and light light green. Before we left, everybody from Team Up went outside and played with the wonderful children. We played basketball, soccer, and we also put them on our backs and did a fun pony ride. I think that that was wonderful to play with kids that lost their parents.

After that we left to go to the United States of America Embassy. We went there to watch a soccer game. The teams that played were USA (United States of America) and Slovenia. But both of the teams scored 2 goals. That was very awesome. After the game we went to someone’s house for a barbeque. The house was very big and very beautiful. When we came in the door we said our names and our nicknames for about 5 or 10 minutes. We waited til the food was finished and they called us to eat. They cooked chicken, potatoes, salad, and they had some wonderful bread. After we ate we came into the dining room to chat with our penpals. Right now we are eating some snacks and we are again watching some more soccer. Today was a very special day for me. I will never forget this day.
