This past Saturday we had a family sports day to raise money for the Athletic Department. Courts were open to play volleyball, basketball and futbol. There was a bake sale and kids were able to play carnival games. It was an amazing event and tons of people came! Each basketball team played against their parents as well! My girls lost, but they had a ton of fun! The event started at 10 and went until 3. I was in charge of running the volleyball court... keeping score and encouraging people to make teams. I'd have a relaxed game of elementary school students play and then a group of intense parents and high schoolers.
The best part of the day was seeing my students outside of class. They would come up to me and give me a hug, "Mees DeeJung!" :) It was also great to meet some more of the parents. In Tegucigalpa, there aren't city parks where the students can go to and play, it's too dangerous. They don't have big backyards or sidewalks to ride bikes on... they are so limited for places to go out and play. Saturday was a day where they could come to Pinares, a safe place, and play all day. The Lord blessed us with a day of beautiful sunshine after an entire week of rain!
