Yesterday the team worked in the village. The nursing students along with their advisor were flying through the well-child checkups.
The construction team started mixing cement and pouring the foundation. Today they finished it and started with the cement blocks.
Since today was a national holiday (New Years) we had a little bit of change in schedules. And we learned a few things:
 |
| 1. We learned that the chicken buses do NOT run on New Years. Luckily we know a guy with a pickup truck who does |
 |
| 2. In the children's program we learned how to make wooden spoon puppets and how to control many kids who all wanted soccer balls |
 |
| 3. Some of the team learned how hard it is to put tape in a straight line |
 |
| 4. We learned how to make a traditional guatemalan dish - Pepian Chicken with rice. They made and delivered 16 plates to elderly and sick people in the village. |
 |
| 5. We learned that practice makes (almost) perfect |
 |
| 6. We learned that we need a LOT more practice at making tortillas |
 |
| 7. We learned that it is harder than it seems |
 |
| 8. We learned how to distinguish a guatemalan tortilla from a gringo one |
 |
| 9. Colleen learned the technique |
 |
| 10. The team learned how much kids love a piñata |
Welcome to 2015! May we keep learning from and loving the people that PID is serving.
