Useful vacations

It is summer in the southern hemisphere and the children are out of school.  We are running our annual 'vacaciones utiles' program which is a mixture of fun activities as well as some academic work including English classes.

Yesterday Lourdes and five volunteers took over fifty children on a lake excursion which included lunch and swimming.

Lourdes leading children from Sauce to the dock where two excursion boats await.  They are singing a song which begins, 'vamons en paseo en un bote feo'  (let's go on an outing in an ugly boat).

Our house with 'mirador' is on the right.


Lourdes and four volunteers are offering this summer program to 120 children in three different locations.

Kind of a grey morning following some much-needed rain during the night, but the sun came out later.
