Nueva Escuela

Traditional dance of the farmland


Annabella giving the speech she didn't know she had to make. Haha.




Our graduates!


Annabella's Room



The school

        This Friday I got to go to a school inauguration, which something amazing to see. Annabella donated land to a land right next to Juyua called Sachotitan so they could build an elementary school there. The Kindergarten graduated and it was a tear jerking moment. Education is more than lacking in this country unless you have the money to spend on the American or British schools here. The kids each told us there best accomplishment, favorite food and hobbies, then got there "diplomas" and were escorted by the cutest little men back to their seats. They named the computer after Annabella and 25 new, flat screen computers were given to the school in favor of her donation. And that is a huge deal because most of the people in these small towns don't even know what a computer is. It was an awesome experience and I’ll never forget it. It's just good to know people really are out there helping. Every little bit counts guys.

        The rest of the day I had to stamp the freaking Rainforest Alliance papers which take 54798574398578435 hours to finish. I hate them and try to avoid them as much as possible, but they always seem to surface somehow. UGHHH.
