The Skutt (Omaha, NE) IMPACT team experienced a day brimming with island culture. “Cultural Experience Day” saw them exploring local flavors at the Farmer’s Market, marveling at the beauty of Winding Bay, and sharing their energy with youth at the “Rise Up” volleyball camp. Ellie, Mia, and Addie have captured the spirit of their adventures in a unique, song-style recap, offering a glimpse into the team’s vibrant day.

Culture Day: Song Edition

 

We wake up; it’s sunny and it’s Thursday.

Looks like a really really fun day. 

Hop in the van, we go to the Farmer’s Market.

Got some jams, donuts, and icees.

Then we took a little detour

Went to this little Bahamas shop (Salty Island Shop)– we got a ton of goodies

Then we went to Winding Bay

Prettiest beach you’ll ever see, we must say, and we love God’s creation!

Found some conch shells as we snorkeled,

Then we got some gyros from Petes Pub

They were so delicious!!

We hopped in the van, running late gotta get to “Rise Up” volleyball camp.

Interacted with the kids and helped them learn skills. 

Afterwards, we had a talk about improvements for tomorrow. 

Then we returned to Camp Abaco for some good pork chops and to thank the Lord 

With some s’mores under the beautiful full moon. 

We love God, we love IMPACT, and we love each other!

Goodnight.

This profile represents the collective voice of our Many Hands Impact teams. The reflections shared here are written by everyday individuals, from students and parents to local community members, who have traveled to Haiti and Abaco to experience the mission firsthand. They are not full-time staff. They are volunteers stepping out in faith to be love in action. In these posts, you will read raw, unpolished stories of personal transformation. Our guest writers document the shared humanity discovered while working alongside local leaders on safe structures, education initiatives, and community development. Impact trips are designed to change the participant as much as the community they serve. Through their words, you get a front row seat to the exact moments people discover their purpose and learn to live with intention.
