Scavenger Hunt

Posted by Elizabeth Jones, Delegate

Yesterday afternoon our team had the opportunity to take our students on a photo scavenger hunt around the city. About four students, two Americans, and a translator made up each group. We had two hours to traipse around the town taking random and hilarious pictures – like our students on a ride at the park, on a bus, in a taxi, with people from the army, and many others. The scavenger hunt was a perfect opportunity for us to spend an extended amount of time with a small group of students, building relationships with them through this activity. All of the students were smiling and laughing and really seemed to enjoy our time together. They also were able to practice teamwork and communication through this scavenger hunt. After the scavenger hunt we returned to the Interlink office for dinner and an award ceremony with the students.

I was stretched (while having an amazing time) during this experience because things were out of my control. Not knowing the city, I had to trust our students and translator. And they didn’t let us down. Just for the record, Sarah and Elizabeth’s team won first place
