12th Anniversary Retreat

Today we celebrated 12 years of Impacto Juvenil, or Proyecto Gedeón, as it used to be called back then.

We did a one day retreat together, played games, did team building activities, ate good food and enjoyed fresh air outside of the city. It was fun and special at the same time. It made me realize how much I enjoy every single one of my coworkers. Some of them have become my closest friends.

As we were driving to the retreat one of my friends said my boss is really happy with my work. She said yesterday my boss was looking over the photos I took and asked my coworkers if they like working with me. They told her I am "excelentisisisimo". That means I am very, very, very excellent! I loved to hear that my boss is pleased and of course it's great that my coworkers love me too.

Praying to start the day.

Human knots

I have learned to enjoy the dreaded "dinamicas"

At first this seemed impossible, but we did it!
Passing a plastic ball along 2 pieces of yarn
to land in the bucket

Taking a bucket of water to thirsty people in Africa
without touching the bucket

Emptying the water without touching it

Passing through an obstacle course
while tied together

I love these two
Mother and Daughter
Original members of Gedeón

Two more of my favorites

We had to do a cheer at the end.
It was pretty funny
I couldn't remember the words, so I figured I'd better dance

These are my closest friends.
I don't like cliques, but we are kind of one.

I still haven't learned to pose like a Latina.
After seeing this photo, they say they will teach me.

US!

We work hard but we also have a lot of fun!!
