06.14.10 - Take the Camaraderie Challenge
We supported our volunteers by taking on a "Camaraderie Challenge". The event lasted for one week. We made it a week with a hot shower. We washed our clothes and dishes by hand. Join us in the examination of what many of us take for granted in our American lifestyles, and both the good, and the bad aspects of living in a rural, impoverished country. Click here to read more about what the challenge consisted of. Also, visit our blog to read about and share experiences about the challenge.
