Community Gathering

Hola a todos,

 This week is our final week at Ayala Campus. Therefore we are keeping ourselves busy until the last drop. Tuesday we worked in the Cactus Garden and had a lovely donation of 80 roses from a student. We spent the afternoon planting the roses along the entrance path of the school. We also looked after our radish seeds and they are growing fast! Buds have started to spread. It is great to see. As for our self-watering containers, some are looking good and others are in shock from transplanting.

Wednesday we had another exciting day! The Students from Ayala played a hockey tournament with the students of Normal Superior. The players were full of energy and the stands were vivid with cheers and encouragements for both teams. The event was electrifying. I was able to Skype with my professors and classmates in Canada. They were able to enjoy and cheer on the teams live via Skype. It was moving to see the amount of spectators and the students eager to play. Happiness was flowing all around us.

Normal Superior also started constructing their Peace Garden. Cindy Elliott has been there for over a week to help and support their garden. I helped plant a couple of plants and really was proud of the students who have been working over the past few days preparing this project. Their garden looks beautiful and I am excited to see the end result of their Peace Garden. Just walking in their garden yesterday I could feel the peaceful environment and the community building as the students worked hard in helping each other and working as a team.

 On our way back to Cuautla with Jesus and the students, we stopped for coconuts and ice cream on the side of the road and it was delicious. We finished the day in beauty with big smiles. J 

Hasta luego,

Gab
