One of the greatest things about our trip has been helping out with Seeds of Humanity, a charity organization that assists refugees and their families. We helped out painting the walls of the children's playroom for a couple of days, which gave the room vibrant color and new style. We have felt very gratified that the hard work we have done has created a happy and welcoming environment for the kids. We also completed the task of rearranging all the shelves with art supplies and books. Although the task took time, the sense of organization we left behind made it worthwhile.
Greek food has also not disappointed. Every meal has tasted euphoric and delicious. The tzatziki here is unbelievably good, creamy and garlicky with just the right flavor from the yogurt and cucumbers. Sharing meals together after a long day of work has created a feeling of joy. At this time, we reflect on what we’ve accomplished and enjoy good laughs.
The highlight of the week was our pottery class. It was a dirty experience, but we all embraced the mess and had a blast sculpting and painting pots and plates. It was great to be reminded that life can be messy yet still fun.
At night, the group chills in the lobby and plays cards. We play and laugh through the late hours of the night.
This trip has been less about the work but rather connecting with a new culture and the people around us. We've learned to take in and enjoy our surroundings while also understanding that our hard work benefits many people. We are excited for what Greece has to offer and the journey ahead of us.
