Lead Up to Vacation

The night before Katie and Mary arrived was a busy one. I walked students home from music class after meeting to talk about plans for our 6th and 9th graders to teach English to Vida Nueva students to help fill their 100 hours of social service needed to graduate. I then headed to a welcome back party for Mike with representatives of the beca families. We started to talk about the upcoming fundraiser we’re doing for the group. Selling hamburgers. Four women are making around 300 hamburgers from one little kitchen next Monday. I plan to help some. Each beca family will be responsible for selling 5 hamburgers at 20 lempiras a piece. I have to buy the bread on Saturday and then help on Monday morning. Can’t wait to see what this experience will be like.


I then went to a family’s for dinner. Great baleadas and conversation. The father of the family was celebrating his birthday (same day as my dad). So it was nice to celebrate with someone while being so far away from my dad. The evening ended with me skyping with my parents to wish my dad a happy birthday. He was happy as he got to spend the day outside because of the usually warm weather and I was happy to wish him a great day virtually. Love ya dad.
