Hello generous donors - I've finally gotten around to detailing some of my life here in Guatemala on my blog. If you'd like to read it check out: www.theroadNesstravelled.wordpress.com

In other news - thanks to you - some girls had a very entertaining couple of hours!!!

It was recently Independence Day in Guatemala - a very big deal. Many activities leading up to the big day - but on the day it was a public holiday. We were going to take the kids into the nearby village but it was raining- ENTER the pom pom critters. A friend of mine sent me some googley eyes from NZ and I was trying to figure out how to use them. I came up with pom poms...with eyes stuck on 'em. THANKS TO YOUR GENEROSITY I was able to buy $20 worth of wool. I thought the girls would just make one and get bored, but they went pom pom crazy and were entertained for a good 2-3 hours! UNHEARD OF. THANK YOU 1 week later they still have them hanging off their bunk beds :)
