The trip to the movie theatre was soooo successful!!! :) it was just about 400 more or less kids and parents bussed from Porvenir to the center of trujillo for the cinema... for many of the children it was their first time being in the movie theatre... we were quite organized and in turn rewarded with a smoothly run event, with no injuries or problems whatsoever! It was quite a beautiful thing to hear how excited the kids were during the movie (Madegascar 2)... and just how appreciative they were of the whole thing, it was quite amazing and (dare i get cheesy) practically brought tears to my eyes... it was just a really nice thing :)
The dinner we hosted for the SKIP families was quite successful!!!! there were about 600 people more or less... we hosted it at one of the nearby elementary schools. We had to move all the tables and chairs outside, the place was decorated, we had a number of dances and performances... including firespinning (me!!) leading out to a fireworks show... the preparing and serving of 600 plates of food (paneton, pork, potato salad, bread) and hot chocolate (which was also quite amazing to watch the mothers make the fire and prepare the hot chocolate)... was quite smoothly organized and just about perfect... hrm.. i dont think i'm giving enough justice to the amount of work we put into putting this together... it was ALOT.....
Now we're officially on vacation... i'm spending christmas with housemates, we've got a really cool crew right now (i think i've already mentioned that a number of times, but i'm quite happy with the folks i'm living with)... and then we're off to Mancora through the 3rd of January... I'm hearing it's quite crazy during the summer, and crazier during the holidays... so it'll be a nice break from reality (which of course isn't so bad), hehe :)
Then on to a successful Summer Camp....
