adding a little boomb in my life
The center we have been working on lately is getting a new playground therefore it has been kind of a damper on our activates because they have been doing construction and just yesterday started to dig a big hole for the foundation. So yesterday we were at our center and my boss comes in and just tells me that I need to evacuate the building now, get my kids all their stuff and go to the teen center down the street. I get a little sacred and ask why not totally sure if was ready for what I was about to hear but I figured if it was a typhoon or something the kids would be getting picked up. As the kids were getting their stuff together I asked again what was wrong and Sarah my boss told me that in the big hole that they had been digging they found a unexploded bomb (most likely from world war II) . I felt chills go down my whole body, to think we all had been playing on a jungle gym set that has been under a bomb! I talked to some of the Japanese locals that worked with us and they said that with all the wars that have happed on the island things like this happens all the time! Anyways so today we were at the youth center, just down he street from our center that we normally work at and we find out that they had found another 15 so a totally of 16 bombs in that area that I have been working at for the past 9 weeks! How crazy! So I guess we don’t be going back there anytime soon… they say at least 5 days till they are don’t making sure its safe for sure so were stuck youth center….
