Wheaton track team at United Nations Park with El Refugio women and children

On New Years Eve, the Wheaton track team spent a wonderful day with the women and children of El Refugio at the United Nations Park, just outside of Guatemala City.  Everyone loved the petting zoo, the horseback rides (even some of the moms got a turn!), the playground, games of basketball, baseball, and even jump roping. There were lots of laughs, hugs, games, and fun.  It was a great chance for the women and children to get outside the walls of the shelter and enjoy a fun day at the park; and the Wheaton team made it extra special with their piggy back rides, games, and quick friendships.
