Consejo Juvenil has planned a “Gran Cine” to raise money. In the huerto we’ve cleaning it all up so that we can (with our projector) show a horror movie..Friday night, in the huerto, darkness, “una noche de terror.” Last minute we decided to put up a plastic roof por ser caso que llueva, but its not going to rain we said, it cant. At 8:30 (after we’ve sold our 100 tickets!) it starts to rain. Really? Well, we have the (sketchy) roof. The power goes out in all of San Isidro. Really? About 20 people have come. We start brainstorming what we’re going to do. Give money back? Reschedule? Who knows. We start selling the popcorn and sodas we have made. After about a half hour or so, we get electricity. Gracias a dios. We repair the roof in the places its lacking. Oh wait, a piece for the amplification got broken (smashed) in the darkness when no one could see! Where are we going to find this piece at 9pm? Its only sold in one store. We tell people to wait just a bit longer while we go on a goose hunt. The majority wait. Gracias a la tia Amelia we find a piece that works. We play the movie for the few that are there, its not 100 but its some, we make $50. :) exito.
