Inthinc in the Community

We are excited and happy to say that Inthinc's first humanitarian efforts in La Serena, Chile were a huge success!  Inthinc employees, their families and friends joined efforts to help a children's home in La Serena.  We gathered much needed supplies such as hygiene products, all kinds of school supplies, arts and craft supplies and food items and delivered them to the children's home.  We had prepared ourselves with projects and fun things to do with the kids during our visit.  We had a reading corner, some games to play, a craft project and paper airplanes.  The kids just LOVED it!  We stayed for about an hour and a half and thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with them.  To be honest I was not sure how all of our projects were going to go.  The kids couldn't get enough of all of it!  I was pleasantly surprised at their interest in the books and the craft project was a huge hit.  The boys were amazed at the paper airplanes.  Most of all the kids just needed the love and friendship.  The hard part was leaving.  I knew it would be hard.  There were a couple of kids who were crying as we left.  We can't wait to return! 
Here are a few photos.  Unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos inside the property for the safety of the children.  There were several moments I wish we could have captured!
