Children's Day Part 1

I had the privilege to celebrate Children's Day twice! On Friday we celebrated at Interamerican and on Saturday we celebrated at Breaking Chains! For those of you who don't know what Children's Day is it is basically Christmas for the kids here in Honduras. It is filled with presents, candy, games, pinatas, and just about everything else that would make a child smile.

Friday at Interamerican we had a "Disco" which is basically just a big dance party that we had on the soccer field at school! The kids LOVED it. Especially since we started giving them candy at 8 a.m. All the grades from pre-k to 6th grade were out dancing on the field! It was really awesome seeing everyone at the school, including us teachers, having a great time. Throughout the day we had a total of 8 pinatas set up and each grade had their own to break open. Luckily no one was hurt as multiple bats were flying through the air all around the school. Each child also brought in some kind of food to share! Here are a few photos from the day!
