Yesterday we had the privilege of attending a Christmas party for the children of a very small school in a small village located in a banana plantation near Cijuatlan, Jalisco, Mexico. Our friends Bruce and Glenn are organizers of this party. Many Canadian's and folks from the U.S. make donations of gifts to be given out to the 32 children that attend this small school. This is not a wealthy community, so you can imagine how thrilled these children are to receive a few gifts. Of course they do put on a small play for us. Here are some pictures that we took at this event. They all make a card for us and we are expected to take a Christmas card home. They make and write on these cards themselves, this is all practice for their English lessons
