Greetings Amigos! Now that we have been on the farm a few days, we are starting to settle into a nice routine. Up at 5am, rotating farm chores with the boys until 10:30, lunch and siesta until 1, special projects until dinner, then some free time until we join to boys for games before bed.
We got involved in a special project on Tuesday, and the boy´s bathroom had a broken pipe, so some of us helped break up the tile and dig down to the problem area. Others spent the afternoon with some of the boys as they milked the cows. Turned out we have a few ¨naturals¨in our group as both our student teachers and the cows seemed pleased!
A laid back evening ended with another game playing session with the boys. We now know many of them by name, and continue to be blessed by their easy smiles and eager participation. We have also had a chance to learn about the very difficult road that lead many of these boys here, which makes their openness even more remarkable.
Same schedule for today, and then it sounds like we will get to visit the other to schools under the El Hogar banner on Thursday. Keep praying!-The Team
