Thursday, 19 April




Again the team divided into the home and away team.  The home team stayed at El Hogar and worked with the children on remedial reading, special education and testing all day.  The children start classes at 7:30 and finish at 1 pm with only a 15 minute break.  How do they do it - the volunteers were exhausted!!

 
 


The away group had it easy - a leisurely (well not exactly) drive, thanks to Raul, through the city and countryside to the agricultural school.  There they were treated to a tour of the farm (pineapples, yucca, plantain, beans, cattle, pigs, coffee,...).  All the things the boys need to learn about farming.  They then were then served a delicious lunch (the main meal of the day), and then the drive back to El Hogar.

 






Thursday evening is the traditional evening we go out for dinner with those directors who can join us at a lovely Honduran restaurant.  We continued that tradition with Raul, Raul and and Claudia's daughter Takerly, and Lazero from the technical institute joining us.
