The village has a new church and when we arrived these were the local ladies who were cleaning the church. They were so nice and funny, when I asked to take their picture, they all took off their aprons and giggled.....
On lookers watching us visit the church.
We climbed to the top of the
steeple with our new friends.
Sister and brother.
A beautiful boy.
Just 2 years ago there wasn't any streets that were not pure dirt, and the houses were all tents.
Inside of the church.
My new
friend who loved having her picture taken.
Hey who is that American....
I was walking down the street and say this man kneeling in his
living room at his personal altar. I said
Hola y
Buenas Dias, and he invited me into his home. He told me that the parish had trained him for four years and now he has a small pharmacy in his home and is in charge of caring for the ill of the village. What a nice, humble, and holy man......
Children of the village.
Kids will be kids. The new Basketball / Soccer field.
Liz and
village Kids.
Local ladies.
Our ride broke down on the way to the village, so we walked.......What a great hike. EXCEPT, the girls were wearing thongs (Sandals) and didn't expect to walk miles....But they were troopers.
Nice hike.
Beautiful
morning.
When we arrived to the village we had about 50 pictures from the last two years of visits. We asked this little girl (Katie) is she knew the people in the pictures. She knew
everyone in the village and took us house to house to give the pictures to them. For many of the people, this was their only picture of themselves.
Katie was so honored to help and was
soooooo cute.
This boy
jumped up on the rock pile and asked if I could take his picture.
