Every grade had a queen, this is Raquel the queen of 3rd grade.
Joe and our neighbor boy, Brian. He likes to come over and play soccer and we taught him frisbee.
Adorable Kindergarteners in the traditional Paraguayan dress.
Me with some 7th graders, aren't they so cute?
Kids dancing.Here are some pictures of the kids at a school program that they called the Olympics. I took pictures, sold them for a little more, and am using the money to buy books for the school. We are really excited to get more books for the kids!
Its has been a while since blogged.We have been busy and haven't had much time to get to town to use the Internet, when there is time we are busy trying to email family and catch up on how the Twins were doing. Sadly their run for the World Series ended, Joe and I thought maybe we were bad luck at home since they were doing so well while we are gone. Speaking of while we are gone we have been away from home for almost 9 months. We have been in our community for 6 months, we are a fourth of the way done. Time is going fast but yet we have a lot of work to get done. The school year will be over at the end of November. We will be spending the summer having camps with the kids, going on vacation, opening the Support Room about twice a week for the kids to come read, maybe making a world map on a wall at the school, and probably drinking a lot of water in the shade. November-February are pretty hot months here so I am sure we will not be moving around too much in the afternoon. Joe is trying to get together a group of people in the community to form a commission and try to get some brick ovens built. A lot of people cook over a wood fire on the floor. We are going to try to build some of the brick oven/stoves in the summer time as well. Its sounds like we will be keeping busy, which is good because if you know me you know I don't like to sit around on my bum too long.
Here is a link to the the video of our school we work at. Those of you that know Spanish please excuse the bad spanish speaking.
