Back to school party

It is traditional in Honduras for birthdays and other festivities to have a Pintada which is a doll which is filled with sweets. The birthday boy-girl hit the pintada until it splits open and sweets spill out. They think it is great fun. Note there are different one for boys and girls.

The lady on the right is Erica, who is the teacher for 2nd (our), 4th and 5th grade. We are all in the classroom behind the girls, we have one end with our 23 kids and the other two are at the other. There is only 15 of them combined.







Of course the tall person had an important job to make sure all the sweets fall out.
