Community service with a kick!

One of the training requirements we've been working on is the community service project. Now the idea is that you gather up a group of youth, help them elect a board, vote on a service project, carry it out successfully, then reflect. 

Right. Well, we tried to do things the official PC way and it didn't work out. San Antonio doesn't have a casa comunal or school, so it's hard to get kids together. Then of course it downpours every time we try to plan something and no one shows up. 

So we switched it up and turned our Zumba group into our service project. We asked them what else they wanted to learn, like self defense. Because groupthink is inevitable here, everyone picked the first suggestion of self defense. It was a lot of fun! Kai did kungfu or something for like 12 years, so he had a variety of punches and kicks for us to teach. 

Hay-yaaaah!

Practicing our punches. 

Everyone was laughing and having a good time. I hope they learned something too!
