Today, we went to the third community on our list, Valle Nuevo or "New Valley".

The people there were prepared for us. Although they didn't have a Canadian flag or anthem like San Martin on Mar. 16, the community leaders talked about their history and ethnic heritage.

The following is how the morning procedures went, and are very similar to the previous communities program of events, as with the rest of the day:

Intro by the Master of Ceremonies

Statement from the Principle of the School

Anthem (Guatemala)

Anthem (Canada)

Pledge (Guatemalean)

Dance (traditional)

Comments from the President of the school board

Comments from Frank Ridder on behalf of the Canada KPC Team

Statement from the President of the Community Development Board

Exit of the Guatemala and school flags

Community Official welcomes the team

Activities

Lunch

Fence-building

Playing the kids

Leave

We also had an incident today where Jasmine Fox of our team suffered from intense illness suddenly while at the community, however, she now sleeps well. A few others including Charlotte Brown, Callum MacLeod and Glenn Fletcher were feeling ill the previous night but Charlotte is now recovered and Callum and Glenn were fine by this morning.

A special thank you to our prayer partners and supporters.
