Today, Group B,Bianca, Jacquie and Sandy, went to the Brothers' office in the middle of the 'Cancha' the local market. The Brothers' mission in the market is focused on providing a secure location for working children to do their homework and escape from the chaos of the street. We spent the morning working with those children, helping with Math, Biology, and English. We were also responsible for providing dinner for the team today, and had a fantastic time shopping and cooking for a group of 20! We made a delicious stirfry with fresh vegetables and meat from the market. Bianca made fried plantains, or platanos, they were amazing. A desert of fresh mango and pineapple rounded out the meal. The experience of shopping for the ingredients and preparing the meal was great!  As Jackie says 'The meat market was quite the experience! The woman handling the meat had no problem grabbing it with her bare hands and tossing it around from person to person. Although the meat did not look very appetizing at first at the market, the dinner was so delicious! Everyone went back for seconds and some even thirds!
