Field Day

On Saturday we had a field day for the kids.

There was relay races

and fun photo cut outs

Our water balloon toss game turned into a huge water fight and the kids loved every second of it. I've never seen kids so excited to get drenched.

we ended the day with lunch at Yocasta's. So goooood!

more cute kids

Little things that warm your heart

Yesterday we went to see Yosimar (one of the CBOB scholar's) house. His mom, Yocasta, used to be a made for the crossing borders trip but now she works at Granitos De Paz full time. She's is an amazing lady and everyday when I see her smile I cant help but smile too.

Walking to Yosi's house bummed me out a little. Seeing the poverty the children we work with live in is heartbreaking. But when we got back all the morning kids were singing for us. It was so adorable. They're such happy kids regardless of their situations.

Then Elizabeth pulled out the Polaroid of us that I gave her last year. I got tears in my eyes because I probably wont be back next year.

These children are so beautiful, inside and out, and I can't even begin to think about leaving them

How can we leave these cuties?

mango juice and an arequipe pastry- the best snack ever

Chincia

I'm convinced that little Colombian girls are the cutest girls in the whole world. Case in point, Chincia.

She has the cutest dimples ever, not to mention the cutest name! Ahhh I adore her.

As of right now Chincia told Maria that she was her favorite volunteer, but we'll just have to see about that!

Working with the ninos is so psychically and emotional draining so it was nice to have a day off.

The Old City

On Saturday we went to the Old City. It's incredibly beautiful.

The white is for paz (peace, which was our lesson with the ninos today!)

you can buy a bag of corn to feed the pigeons for 500 pesos

we'd have a place with lots of flowers

and eat a mango day (at least!)

Yesterday we went to Islas de Rosario which was also incredibly beautiful. I'll post those pictures soon!
