Dia del Nino





Children's Day is such an important holiday around here! It is more festive than Christmas. The children typically receive new clothes from their parents as their gift.  On this day, the children may wear their new clothes to school instead of their regular uniform.  Schools, churches, community groups, families, etc....gather through out the day and weekend to celebrate.  This year, the ALP kids and La Providencia families went to a park/ green space to celebrate in "field day" fashion.  Our teachers and staff acted out a skit during the devotional time.  We sang songs and played games.  Our moms cooked a delicious chicken plate for lunch and we had sugary drinks and cake! To finish out our activities, we had a Spider Man pinata for the boys and a Princess Purse pinata for the girls.  It was a lovely day for everyone!
