Today was my first day and as I was biking there I was asking myself Is it today? Does it start at 8:30? What if i wasn't accepted in? I was so nervous because i had no idea what to expect, but as soon as we got there other people started showing up and 2 other FARM project kids were there. We picked strawberries and we did that from about 9:30 till 12 or something like that, and that work was hard because you had to get the most perfect strawberries and the plants were so small that i had to sit cross legged because i couldn't bend over anymore because my back hurt. Then we weeded and that was actually fun. Kaila, one of my "counselors" (I put counselor in quotation marks because she isn't really my counselor, shes more like a boss, but not really) talked to us a lot about what the farm was gonna do for the island and its residents. I don't know if i actually explained it but The FARM Project is all about organic farming and helping the less fortunate who don't have access to fresh vegetables so we teamed up with another organization and we distribute the food that the farm grows to the poor. All in all today was good even though it was really hard work. I also got sunburn...shhh don't tell anyone!
