These past few days have been really fun. I’ve gotten to see, do and experience things I only wished of doing while I was back in Oakland. Everyday we’ve been talking to students and adults about the school system and the Misiones and how they work and a little about the history of Venezuela. Everyone here is open minded and doesn’t discriminate against anybody. Everyone here is about education and equal rights. Education and equal rights for their country and for the entire world. Almost all the people in Venezuela are revolutionists. To me that’s a powerful thing because that means that entire country has unified and that is very unlikely back in the states.
There really are too many things I’ve experienced here that its hard to narrow down and focus on one thing. I’m kind of overwhelmed by the trip. The first day in Venezuela felt like I had been here for about 3 days, so you can imagine the amount of information we receive everyday.
The thing I like the most about the trip is getting to know the people from Venezuela. Getting to know how they live and the things they like to do on their own time. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m interested in learning their culture compared to the culture back home.
I have a lot to say but I can’t seem to get my thoughts together. Ill end this with I like Venezuela and im looking forward to another trip here, maybe on my own time with out chaperones.(not that they made this experience worse because they haven’t, but jus so that I can do other things).
