It was a flawless blue-sky day as we drove out to Yalu once again, over two very bad dirt roads as we got closer to the village.
Back at the school there for the third year, seeing the walls that we painted two different shades of blue two years ago, the youth did their skit once again. The kids really enjoyed doing Allelu Allelu with us, especially when they realized they should be trying to out-sing (yell!) the other half when it was their turn! Then, we played a crazy game of Sharks and Minnows with hundreds of excited children!! It was a crazy wave of little Guatemalans swarming us Americans.
The kids watching the skit
To shorten a long story, we had gotten a very late start in the morning and didn't have time to actually do physical labor for them, but we did see the location of where we at least left the supplies we had brought to build a chicken coop. It was a tiny little area where a family lives up along a hillside. It was the wife's idea to raise chickens to help support her barely surviving family.
After quick showers at the compound and a stop at MacDonald's, we toted our usual 200 cheeseburgers to the orphanage we always go to, where we did our skit, etc, and played with the kids.
For dinner we went to San Martin again, and was my vodka chicken pasta ever yummy!
