COTS SHELTER

Today we went downtown and visited the Cost Shelter. The first impression i had of it was the rooms where the people sleep. They were almost 30 beds made up by bunker beds. When i saw that, i thought in how is the relationship between the 30 persons that sleep there all the nigths. Even though they don't have such a great help from the government, the Shelter receives help from private companies in order to survive.

I really didn´t expect to see a homeless Shelter in such great conditions. I though it was a dirty place and really messy but actually the place was really clean and organize.

In Colombia we have several organizations that offer this help but they are actually really weak due to economical problems and the amount of people. Every day more and more people need  a shelter where they can sleep but unfortunately they don't have access to it due to all the problems the shelters have.


SCAVENGER HUNT.

 The Scavenger hunt was actually really good. While i was doing it, i realize that sometimes i don´t see what is around me. For example i passed over the huge world map two times. Also I learned that sometimes we have to be intelligent and ask for something instead of going all around the place searching for something with out knowing where can we find it. I think the Scavenger Hunt wasn´t difficult because we asked several times for the places or items whe had to search for.

I really had a great time in today´s activities. Wait for my next post in july 11th ;)
