Día del Niño
















Yesterday was Children's Day here in Honduras. Unlike the U.S. where we only have Mother's and Father's day, they also have a special day set aside for children. The kids all had parties in their schools and were alowed to wear regular cloths rather than their normal uniforms. In the afternoon after they got home, a local radio station came to the casa and broadcast live for about an hour or two. They had a piñata, cake and food for the kids and gave each of them a gift. They also let several of the kids talk on the radio and sing along with a couple of songs. The kids were all very excited. The visiting groups will continue throughout the weekend. There are groups scheduled for today, Sat. and Sun.



The kids at Amor y Vida got a visit from the San Pedro Sula professional soccer team, Maraton. There was an article in the paper today about the visit and this photo of the kids with the players.
