......................and lastly the formal dress.
It started at 10ish-1030 and we didn't get out of there until 2am!!! I was so tired i just wanted to the same as my friend here...
So our friend didn't win but she did very well. Everyone thinks she definitely deserved top 5 over some of the other girls. The girl that one (royal blue) also had an advantage as she had participated in pagents before and was a lot older (and more experienced) than the other girls. Everyone knew she was going to win before-hand.
Today (15 de mayo) we had the 'desfile' or street-march where every organization represented. I walked with Consejo Juvenil. It was super hot, with tons of sun. Everyone was dying and there were plenty of people/groups the streets were lines with people watching the parade along with people on balconies, car tops, in the park, and then the tons of people marching.
This wednesday I am having my first meeting with a health group that we are creating out of students in the high school. I want to use this group to help plan and have events like HIV fairs to spread knowledge about the diseases and what not. Hopefully people show up.
I've been working a lot lately in medio ambiente (environment) planning a reforestation project where we are going to plant 500 trees in San Isidro. What is even better is that the students in all of the schools are going to be the ones planting and taking care of the trees. Its looking like I will be successful and I am very excited!! In one week we will be planting (21 de mayo).
Along with that I am also starting an ecoclub which will work in environmental issues learning about the environment and then we are going to all of the schools to educate and having events and what not. throwing trash on the grounds as well as burning trash are the two things i REALLY want to change here before i leave and they are also things that i believe i CAN change with a lot of education and what not. it is a huge and very gross problem here it will change the world if the people here just change those two habits alone and nothing else.
Dog Update:
It looks like every blog until I give them away there will be a dog picture because theyre just so adorable!! theyre about 3 weeks old now and theyre getting so big. Apparently a dog can have a litter with different dads if she was with many different ones and since she is a street dog (and a machona) it wasn't that easy to keep her or the other dogs away and it is definitely apparent with some of the pups that they come from different dads. They're all so adorable anyway. I couldn't help but give some of them names already...
Adriano and them were born on the same day (27th) so they will complete months together. When they have one month he will have 8. Hes getting so big!!
La cafecita y 2 negritas. They still sleep in a little ball always with another one.
