Today the Kinders, Preperatories, First and Second Grades went all the way to Tegucigalpa on a field trip! We went on the busses that have a monopoly on running hourly/daily to Teguc. from La Esperanza (the owner's have a kid in the school). It was about a 3 hour bus ride, and a lot of parents went! That's the different thing here: there was at least one parent for every kid, it was almost mandatory. I was in charge of one sweet girl (the one who ate her work) because her mom went on the other field trip with her brother. The school split up into younger/older kids and the older kids went to a lake and some caves. This was all for Earth Day.
The Children's museum we went to is called Chiminike(chim-in-ikee). I called Amber ahead of time and she met us there and got in free as a teacher. We'd always wanted to go but never got around to it. I'd always thought it was more like a Chuckee Cheese's, but it was an awesome science and industry-type museum. On the way there we passed the Federal Court building and Dani, my "charge", said, "Oh miss, it looks like the White House! Except it's green. So maybe it could be called The Green House! But it also has some orange (bricks), so it could be called the green and Orange House.!"
The 3 hour tour was really cool and afterwards we got to go to the mall! to the food court! and eat....oh, the plethora of choices! The kids from school are so funny. Whenever they see a plane or helicopter they get soooo excited, like it's a space ship or something! Definately a different tribe than I had in Watts.
To conclude, a few prayer requests...
The family of Marta, a 60-ish woman in our church who died of cancer last night.
Our small youth group Bible study, to encourage more youth to come.
Those in La Esperanza who are living without any esperanza, "hope".
Will remember your prayer requests and lift those people up.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the museum was a lot of fun (and I now see the pics) and that is so great that Amber could join you.
