Mother’s Day falls on May 10 each year in Guatemala. To celebrate, the children and youth at the Family Support Center put together a special presentation of skits, choreographed songs and dances, and fun games for the moms of the Llanos del Pinal community on May 7. A large group of Pop Wuj students and teachers attended the celebration and the kids were excited to perform in front of a captivated audience.
Carmencita welcomed everyone to the activity and we got underway!

| The ladies performed a choreographed dance for us. |

| And then pulled Amy and Shanti from the audience to join them! |

| In the middle of the celebration we recognized the first quarter honor roll students. ¡Buen trabajo! |

And when we returned to the Pop Wuj school, the students were cooking up a big dinner for everyone! Buen provecho!
