Aubrielle Tells us About our Special Visitors

On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday some Guatemalan women came and talked to us about their culture. We asked them questions through a translator (they speak Spanish). We learned that only rich children got presents from Santa Clause and they've never even heard of the Easter Bunny! Amparo de León de Rubio was 50 and Oralia Chopen was 34. In Guatemala they weave all their clothes. They learn when they're seven years old and only make outfits once a year. Even worse, they only have one pair of shoes! Many families are very poor, so there might be a class with 50 kids and only 10 books! These women have been very generous and gave us bracelets that they made. We gave them note books because they said most kids only have one piece of paper all day!
