This is Jess Lee reporting on today's festivities here on Converse College's Alternative Spring Break in Miami!
Today was an early morning hustle with the group of us, 14 in total, having breakfast before heading towards our orientation with the greater Miami affiliate of Habitat for Humanity.
Once we finally arrived.. with a few GPS mishaps and some crazy Miami traffic.. we made it to our training.
I'll interject the details of the day to say that the people we have been able to meet today were incredibly kind and welcoming! Our orientation guide extradionair, Carlos, took us on a tour of their offices and made sure we met everyone of the HFH Miami team. Each person was generous with their time and genuinely wanted to know more about where we were from and grateful for our forthcoming service.
We were also treated to some deliciously energetic Cuban coffee, which I'm pretty sure all of us want to learn how to make.
After orientation, where we brushed up on site safety and the foundation of Habitat for Humanity (follow the link to see more! we took a quick drive to see one of the homes that just 2 years ago another Converse team had helped build.
Molly Dugan, our fabulous Director of Student Orientation and Activities, was with the group who worked on these homes and so we celebrate their legacy!
After that quick stop we trekked to beautiful Hollywood Beach!
Here is a group picture of all of us..
Now.. I'm going to be abrupt because we're in the middle of an Apples-to-Apples game and I really want to play!
Love to you!
Jess
