Today in Rio, we visited two schools where we had the amazing opportunity to play volleyball and share this unforgettable experience with the Brazilian children. In the end, I think I got just as much out of our time with them as they got out of me. These children weren’t just any children but had a certain enthusiasm to whatever we threw their way. They couldn’t ask enough questions or spend enough time with us. As we left the second school they chased after the bus for 3-4 blocks until reaching a busy intersection. As we watched them out the window of the bus sending off their finals waves and blowing their last kisses, my heart went out to them and I knew that I would always have that image of those children to look back on. What a wonderful experience and its only day 1!
