Yesterday, we scoured the streets most the day looking for things we might use to enrich the Valentine´s Day for the children at Casa Hogar (the home for the abused &/or raped girls and their children). We found crayons, colored pencils, coloring books, paints, red & pink construction paper, clay, puzzles & a frisbee. We made samples of several projects and looked forward to having a chance to have fun with these kids who have so little. We were told we would be picked up at 10 am....it is now 11 a.m. and we are sitting on a bench in front of our hotel with all our supplies....waiting.....it is now 11:45 and we just got a message, translated by the man we met while waiting...and our new pick up time is now 5 p.m. We have learned to become very flexible and patient....and also reminded that this is Guatemala time...not a bad thing.
