In the mornings about a third of the campers here in South Dakota head over to a community center for children where they hang out with kids from the community, play games with them, and basically just show them some love. Today was the first work day and the first day for hanging out at the community center. Two sisters — Veronica (9 years old) and Chloe (8) instantly loved my camera. I showed them how to take photos and we talked for a while. Veronica drew a picture of me, and both of them said they would be looking for me tomorrow. It's pretty cool to be able to communicate with the people I'm taking pictures of and the people we're building for. In Mexico I barely manage to communicate essential things like where people are or what's going on. Here I can talk and hang out with the kids and the people we're building for, and it's pretty awesome.
