We just returned from a week-long trip to Santa María Tzejá with a delegation from Needham, Massachusetts. It is always a privilege for me to witness and take part in the partnership between these two sister communities. Better yet, my dad came on the trip! Here are some pictures that he took.
During the week we were there, Chely attended Santa María Tzejá's kindergarten class. Here she is with classmate Aida heading to school:
She enjoyed learning and drawing and sweeping!

My sister-in-law Rosa just gave birth to a healthy baby. Here are the two of them with the proud older brother Sandino:
The delegation from Needham performs at a community party:
The preschoolers also performed a song and dance number - Chely was so excited to take part:
With a new friend, both wearing traditional blouses from Cunén:
Rolling, tumbling, and playing in the grass:
Bean face!

Back in Guate City - Kayalá has come down with a cold but is still in generally good spirits:
