After a fantastic breakfast of pancakes and mangoes, the team split with some heading to Tranquilidad and some going to another kindergarten. At the kindergarten we presented the same message about Jesus being our King. The team loved the chance of being able to communicate with the kids.
A couple of observations were made at the kindergarten. The toys really caught our attention. There were many dirty second-hand stuffed animals and small plastic toys. Also, many of the kids wore Toms shoes. This was awesome to see, because for every pair you buy, one is donated. It is an amazing thing to watch the money put toward the shoes actually make a difference.
Gloria, our cook, delivered tostadas (fried tortillas spread with beans and sprinkled with cheese) for the children's snack.
The teams joined again, and began the task of planting coconut trees in the orchard. The holes were pre-dug by a backhoe which made our job easier. Working together like that can really bring people closer. We sweated a bunch, but had a blast, and ended up finishing more than we expected.
Crazy nut trees sprouting in the Honduran soil!
