Armenia Christmas Party

For the past two years (2008 and 2009), our biggest event of the year (at least numerically speaking) has been our children’s Christmas party in Armenia Bonito, and this year was no different.  The day consisted of some Christmas songs, a Christmas message, presents, and lunch.

For presents, we gave out plastic soccer balls to the boys and earrings and a knitted hat to the girls.  The hats were made by some ladies in a supporting church and were quite a hit.  You might not think a knitted hat would be a good fit for tropical Honduras, but when the temperature drops below 80 in the rainy season, the winter clothes come out.  Jackets, gloves, and yes, even knitted hats.

After two years in a row of a Honduran staple for lunch, arroz con pollo, we decided to give them a little American classic, hot dogs, which the kids loved.

The party was exhausting to put on, but a joy to be a party of.  And a big thanks goes out to the team for pulling it off.
