Service Work - Jabiru Bush Camp

Today was our first service work. We started by helping make “fertilizer tea,” which consists of cow pies mixed with water and left to steep for a few days. Yes, by “cow pie” I mean cow poop. We gathered poop and mixed it with water. The kids were surprisingly happy about this task, well, not all of them. 😉

We also fed the cows, horses, and guinea pigs.

After that, there was a roadway with three downed trees that we had to move without the use of tools. We turned it into a good leadership exercise about not diving right in, assessing the situation, coming up with a plan, and then reevaluating if the plan did not give us the desired outcome. Oh yes, it was a messy experience but a really good one! Cherry, Daria, and Lillian had the successful plans at each obstacle. 🙂

It was a great but tiring start to the day.Baca lagi
