My host family and I on Christmas. We sat in the street and lit off fireworks.
My host sisters and I on our way to a promotion dance
The sweet 18th bday we went to with our homemade costumes while everyone else had nice store-bought ones. We felt a bit out of place.
Milking some cows...yes I did it and it was gross!
The products we made during training with our youth group.
The amount of bags they collected, washed, and cut within two days
The cutting and the washing of the chip bags
The cucumbers or Pepinos.
My host cousin displaying the purse and belt made of chip bags
My host sister and cousin shoveling-out the compost pile.
The youth group boys making the fence for the garden. (Didn't work too well)
One of the areas we are growing some plants. The plants hanging are tomatoes and some flowers. We are also trying to grow Chayote which will hopefully grow on the trellis.
I am sorry they are somewhat out of order, it was the way the blog pasted them and I can't change it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the great pictures Christine! The purse and belt look great! 3rd period Spanish class at Highcrest thinks you can sell them for lots of $$$$. The class is very concerned about the gun in the picture of the boys with the friendship bracelets...is it for play? or something else? We think you are doing such a great job educating the community there about environmental awareness.

Hello Highcrest Spanish class!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about the gun in the picture. I didn´t even notice. But they are for play. The boys like to play cops and robbers and I took the picture of the bracelets when they were playing. So Sorry about that. I have never seen anyone with a real gun here.
Sorry to bother you, but could you post some pictures of Nicaraguan clothes. We need some ideas for thinking day.
