I have a thing about the doors
and I had a root canal just before I came to Guatemala! Think of the money I could have saved, eh?
Simply yummy breads and cookies
Owned by a lovely family
We stopped for Cervezas
Guatemala is full of dogs…hungry puppies. They are not aggressive, they don’t fight and they seem to have an uncanny awareness of vehicles
Jose, Julio & Marvin made the days fun
This was a tedious job. There is no easy way to shovel small pieces of tile.
Yes…this is the tool used to tamp the sand down to level and harden the floor to get it ready for cement.
– Heavy and painstaking
Gratifying work
I brought with me, two Chinese lanterns. The kids had never seen anything like it. What a thrill to see their faces light up.
The altitude did cause a bit of a delay in lift-off and I didn’t expect that…was touch & go for a moment.
On our last evening, visiting Antigua, we spotted hundreds of these lanterns in the sky being released for the celebrations of St. James’ Day
filling, then Levelling floors to prepare for cement
After my piñata
I could have taken photos for hours of all the beautiful faces
Diane Finoro brought a fantastic craft for the kids. The girls made beautiful mini autograph/scrap books from coloured napkins
Students from Our Lady of Hope Catholic School in Richmond Hill made beaded bracelets for NPH students. In return, the NPH kids made bracelets for the OLH kids. *A fun trade
I was surprised with my very first ever Pinata
Just a sample of what is made at NPH
Is it refa time?
The garden approximately the size of a football field
