Day 2 Smokey Mountain

So after a much needed rest, we hit the church at 8am, to find so many of us confronted by an awesome message by the american missionary team (taylor university). Before we knew it we were on a bus backed full of food we had prepared the night before, heading to Smokey Mountain and P18.
Arriving approximately an hour later, we packed the food and had it delivered ready for us to handout to all the people in need. Walking in to P18 was alarming for all of us to see the extremely poor conditions for the families to live in, considering the area is literally a trash dump. Seeing the kids running around, covered in dust, most had no shoes or shirts on in such a hazardous environment, it was amazing to see the joy on their faces from something so simple as holding their hands.
After distributing food, giving aid, making the kids balloon animals, and sharing our love, we played a fun game of basketball with the older kids.

From their we split into 2 groups, half went to Smokey Mountain to distribute food bags and the other half went to small local church to do another food distribution. We met some amazing people along the way.

Later on, during a debrief everyone got a chance to share and a lot of people were incredibly moved by a lot of events throughout the day and by Jason and Logans Messages. Overall it was a very awakening, emotional and inspiring Day and Night.
