Yee-Hah! (Globe, Arizona)


In the city of Globe, Arizona - we performed in the RODEO STADIUM of the Apache Gold Casino. The experience was so different from Tucson -- in this city, nobody knew about Up With People! As in kakalog-kalog ang venue namin. But it was such a unique experience!





I also totally enjoyed our Community Impact (CI) projects there. One totally got me out of my comfort zone as we worked with the Gila Employment Services Training Center -- handicapped adults. I was CI leader for the day and it was such a challenge. But I feel like I am slowly overcoming my English language insecurities because of our neverending activities!
We also got to paint a local landmark train at the City park. That was fun! Even if it meant scorching heat and burning metal! We were also featured in the local paper :-)



Look closely, I am there somewhere? (Bottom, second from left !)
