So this will be my last Wednesday update from Paraguay :( and I can onlt be quick.
This morning we finished re-painting the comedor and it is now really white. We now only have the playground left to paint, but we wont have the pàint for that until Friday when Phil gets back from Asuncion with it, but it means that we will have to work hard on Saturday because they want to officially open it on Sunday while we are still here.
Yesterday it was Childrens Day here in Paraguay, and Monday was a bank holiday for the anniversary of the founding of Asuncion, so on Monday our girls had two performances again. First of all they were asked to perform at the town hall, which is a real honour, a few girls did traditional Paraguayan dancing, and some of the older girls did some ´Christian´ dancing and then they put on a puppet show using the new puppets that we brought out for them. There were a lot more people there than I expected, and the mayor was very impressed. Ossy said that in the 14 years that he has lived in QQH, this is the first time they have done anything for childrens day. After that, they all piled into the back of the open van again and travelled about an hour up the road to the next village, where they did the same again. It was a really good day. Yesterday all the girls were a bit hyper because they had been given sweets and presents at school.
Anyway I have to go, but next week we travel on an over night bus to Brazil, where we are having a few days holiday at Iguassu Falls, before we come home. Only 10 days left in South America now, what happened to the last 50?? I will try and update again before we leave, if not I will do it once I am home....xxxDa
