We completed a short-term project, building a greenhouse for a
school. They could use the greenhouse for funds – the vegetables
and flowers – and it was also good therapy for the children who
were sick. I worked at a school for children with disabilities and
mental illness. It was a very rewarding experience, working oneon-one
with the children. They would help us after their classes to
dig and plant the flowers, and the whole community was involved.
2
The best moment was seeing the greenhouse finished with the
beautiful flowers and the vegetables all planted, and seeing the
children’s faces and smiles. Knowing that you made a difference
in their lives in such a short amount of time.
3
My mom, of course, and then there was a whole group of volunteers.
We became a family, a community, in such a short amount of
time. We became a team on the ride to Xela. We really got to know
each other from just talking over dinner to working side-by-side. I
loved being in a community and living with the other volunteers.
There were about 10 of us on the project. They were very important
to the overall experience, and we were able to complete our
project because we supported each other. The project could not
have been completed by just one person … and we still had fun
together throughout the process.
2 Study these two kinds of questions. Then add two more
questions from 1A to each grid.
Object questions – we want to find out about the object.
The question word is the object, not the subject. There is
another subject in the sentence.
Object (Q word) Auxiliary Subject Main verb
Who did Caitlin help?
What did she do?
Subject questions – we want to find out about the
subject. Start with Who or What. The question word is
the subject. There is no other subject.
Subject
(Q word) (Auxiliary) Main verb
Object/adverbial
phrase
Who went with Caitlin?
What will happen next?
3 A Label each question S (Subject) or O (Object).
Write the answers.
1 Who did Caitlin like working with?
2 Who liked working with Caitlin?
3 Who bonded together?
4 What did she build?
5 What will she study next?
6 What made Caitlin’s outlook more global?
4
My mother. It made my bond with my mom that much stronger. It
was a special experience for me to share with her. We were close
even before we went to Guatemala, but when we came back we
were closer, we just got a greater sense of our relationship from
going to Guatemala and doing it together.
5
A new global outlook on everything and I learned that not everything
is about myself. I learned a lot about myself in that one week.
My mom had done volunteering when she was younger and she
wanted me to have that opportunity to help others. She brought the
idea up and I loved it right away. Then I suggested that we should
go to Guatemala.
6
The people of Xela. I miss seeing the children’s faces when we
came in every morning. They would wait for us at the gate, and
we’d see their little smiling faces. It was such a joy to wake up to,
and I miss that.
7
I am going back this summer – this time on my own with the teen
group to Xela, Guatemala. And I am so excited, I’m not nervous at
all. I just consider myself lucky that I have the chance to experience
it again. I can’t imagine going anywhere else, I really became
attached to the people. I’m thinking about majoring in an international
field in college, probably international relations, because
why limit yourself to just your community?
8
They would be helped by good advice. I would say: don’t let age
limit your possibilities. CCS is so structured, it’s perfect for teens.
