We started off our day eating at the coffee and tea shop in our ming zhu. Breakfast consisted of a meat bun salad and a freshly brewed soy milk. After breakfast, we went to the National Taitung University to make our name tags and discuss the course material. After lunch, we drove up to Lidao.
The trip up to Lidao Elementary school consisted of many windy and curvey roads. Despite that, the scenery was beautiful. The crystal clear and crisp river seemed as if they came from a fairy tale. The prevalent lush green trees and bushes up in the mountains show the natural beauty the Bunun Tribe encounters.
After arriving to Lidao Elementary School, we quickly moved all our personal belongings to the police station dormitory, where we are staying for the 3 days. The rooms were divided by gender. Boys and girls were separated, some rooms consisted of 3 people, while others like mine had 6 people in a room!!
After settling down we walked to Lidao Elementary School, which was right next to the police station. We divided up the volunteers and parents to three groups. The parents were in charge of the kitchen, another group was in charge of one of the classroom, and the last group of volunteers cleaned up the computer table. Before the classrooms and kitchen were a mess, but after a couple hours of hard work, it was spotless. After cleaning we ate noodles for dinner. It was yum yum. There were two large pots of noodles.
After dinner, our first group meeting was held. The meeting was about how we were going to divide our group and plans for the next day next day. The first group consisted of Elton, Jenny, Thomas and me (Jonathan). The second group consisted of Joey, Cindy, Georgina, and Jessica.
The night finished with some card games.
