Arrival Day OBT2!!

It was with Open arms and giant smile that the group leaders and staff of Project Mexico welcomed all 105 trip participants to St. Innocent Orphanage. Thankfully everyone arrived safe and sound, albeit tired from a day of traveling. The activities began with a brief orientation and tour of the orphanage facilities, which encompassed the history of St. Innocent, how we were started as an organization, the history of some of our boys, and of course lots of guidelines to keep in mind when interacting and living in a foreign culture. After everyone was settled, dinner was served and we settled into our 'cathedral' ...actually a large tent, which serves as the chapel, for evening prayers and a talk with Fr. Michael Nasser about what we can expect to be happening in our hearts for the next 7 days. On that note, we all settled in and slept in our cozy cozy tents. Buenos noches!
