Spring parade

Last Thursday I was invited out to 'my' school for the Spring parade. MY school is the one that I drive to for Feed the Hungry. I was so happy to be invited and spent a couple of hours with the kids and my friend Ezchwan hiking up and down dusty roads. Twice we had to move to the side of the road to let the traffic by... in this case the traffic was made up of goats... oh and one pig...

I was honored to crown the Spring Queen... so incorrect in the USA but an honor here!!

Loved the experience and can not wait for next year... oh and NEXT year everyone will get a spring present.. not just the queen and her court.

La Palmilla "my' school

Today is Tuesday which means I got to drive to 'my' school for 'Feed the Hungry'. The younger children are usually out for recess when I get there. They have let me play 'Pato, Pato, Ganz" with them... or otherwise known as Duck duck goose!! Last week I took a picture of the game... this week I shared the picture and they were so excited. As a special treat I got a tour of their 'garden'... and class room.

The garden only has cilantro right now... but I think I may perk it up with some radishes... they grow fast... I also got a tour of their class room. Check out my pictures... they are so cute!!!

Meet the Cooks

These two young women are the cooks at 'my' school. They are so cute and so young but also dedicated to feeding the young students in La Palmilla.

The rest of the photos show parts of my two hour round trip to La Palmilla! The dust is not nice and I am looking forward to the rains!!

I have my own school!!

On Tuesday morning I drive for an organization called "Feed the Hungry". The group feeds 4,000 students every school day!!! These are children from the poorest of the poor. Often this is the only meal they get in a day!! To get that meal they must stay in school.

Up until today I have been a driver on call. When needed I was sent to different school each time. ALWAYS an adventure!!

Today I got my very own school. It is the smallest and the poorest that the group supports.

The school is in a tiny dusty poor village called La Palmilla. The roads are washboard at best and the dust is overwhelming. Directions to the school include turn at Abarrotes Lopez, take the split to the left between two other stores etc.. you get the idea!!!

Some of the things they forgot to mention about driving to my new school can be seen in the pictures!!

OH and Left turn at the Skull!!!

Prayers for a special young man!!

My Granddaughter Chloe has a young friend named Tyler White. He has Down Syndrome like my granddaughter.

Next week on the 25th of Jan. Tyler has to have heart surgery. This is sort of his only chance.

Please pray for the doctors, his family and Tyler... he is so sweet!!

Please send you good thoughts, prayers and white light!!!

HUGS to all
