Guatemala beat Mexico 3-2 in the qualifying soccer game!!! They haven't beat them in 31 years....so it was quite the celebration. We watched it on TV with Kellys dad and I was so excited!
Yesterday we had another successful meeting with our womens group where we gave a participatory presentation on discrimination against women and strategies to combat it. The women are definitely becoming more comfortable with us, but unfortunately next week will be our last meeting with them.
Last night we got together with our families and bribed them with brownies to do some activities with us. It was a really good time since they hadnt had brownies before and thought they were great, paired nicely with coffee. We had them draw a map of Alotenango with the places they visited most frequently, places they liked, dangerous places, and places they would like to see improved. We did two different maps, one for the women and one for the men and it was interesting to see the differences and get to know the community more through their eyes. Kellys dad made us a great snack of sauteed flowers with garlic and onions put into tortillas. Hes doing all the cooking right now since his wife broke her ankle and is on crutches.
Were in the training center all day today and looking forward to a relaxing weekend with some soccer playing and another birthday celebration on tap.
