Day 1
To summarize the day, they started at Cambridge Primary School. Half our group, Team 1, ran a practice quiz and coached the quizzers in preparation for Friday's tournament. The other half was able to get into the classrooms and share the Gospel as well as a little about themselves and America. During a recess between sessions they were able to get the students in large groups and the team evangelized to them.
They were there for about an hour and a half. They then headed back to the villa for lunch before leaving right after to go to Howard Cook school.
Once there, the other half of our group, Team 2, set up the quiz site for the team from Howard Cook. They were also joined by a quiz team from Catherine Hall school which will be in the tournament Friday as well. During the quizzing, the rest of the team hung out and evangelized with some students who were free to hang out.
They ended the day after that visit and went back to the villa for swimming and a delicious dinner of jerk chicken!
Cambridge had the white/blue female uniforms. Howard Cook had the blue/red checkered uniforms and Catherine Hall had the blue/blue checkered uniforms.
