Third world poverty is intense friends. I always felt like Banica was a poor town, and I had seen the Campos before in my three years of visiting, but this time it really hit. I went with one of the church workers to a small town, or "Campo" outside of Banica that I will be teaching in. He was going to hold a communion service there so I went with him to get to know the town and people I will be teaching. These people REALLY put on their sunday best for church - girls in pretty dresses that are missing zippers and walk without shoes and babies going in naked. It's really shocking and heart breaking at the same time.
I'm still digesting it all but it was a very interesting day to say the least - one of many adventures to come!
