Travel Time

We are currently on the bus to JFK. We arrived at school and used the five hours in the morning to prepare. This morning we brainstormed ideas and questions that would help the boys of Boys Town successfully do a project that we are giving them. Once we arrive to their village we will be giving them laptops and cameras to do a photography project. We will also donate clothing and toys to them. After our brainstorm session we work on the song that we will sing to the different villages throughout the trip. It is a custom and tradition for African tribes to preform for their visitors and for the visitors to preform for them in return. We decided to sing "Stand By Me" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". In addition to our group singing those songs Geige and Gabby will be preforming an acrobatic routine with Kenny improvising on the harmonica. We practiced our performance a countless number of times until Alexis accepted our challenges. After completing our rehearsal it was time for us to have lunch, finish up last minute things, and say goodbye to our friends and family. We packed the bus up with our luggage infront of the CWB and boarded it. Every student was assigned a "baby" bag (aka another suitcase that is filled with camera equipment or things we will donate) to check in with our own. We are all abord the Jitney now and on our way to JFK Airport.
