Hi everyone! I’m Pili and I’m from Barcelona. I just got to the
United States; a week ago, actually. I work as an English teacher back in
Spain. One of my friends told me about this program, I thought it was really
interesting, and that’s why I’m here. In my opinion, I think that this type of
work is one of the best ways to get a personal growth. We know that there is
poverty in the world, that children in Africa need a better education and also
food and, in this case, that there are many women who do not know the real
meaning of abortion. The world is aware of that, but sometimes we do not do
anything to improve this situation.
Nowadays I’m living in Canton, Detroit, with four more interns. Our
job here is doing sidewalk counseling, besides doing some deliveries, going to
the office for some appointments or even going to the hospitals with mothers
who need to have a sonogram of their baby. These first three days I’ve been
working basically in deliveries. I went to some houses to bring them either
food or baby materials like diapers, wipes and clothes. The experience has been
great; cannot find the words to explain such a beautiful experience. Going to
these houses, being pleased by these women, hugging you and saying how thankful
they feel. It’s something I cannot explain with words; something that if you do
not see it with your eyes, you might not believe it.
While I’m here, I’m staying with a family who gives me a roof. I
know we are supposed to explain our days in here; what do we do, what do we
learn, how our days are here. However, I want to thank all these people who
make our stay better. I’ll be back soon to tell you more about this awesome
experience!
