More News from Honduras

This is McKenzie writing. Yesterday, Sunday, we walked to the closest town to go to the market. By the time we got there the sun was blazing and everyone was uncomfortable. But once we started to go through the market, everyone was excited to see what was there. Some people sold fruits and vegetables, and there was a lady grilling something delicious. There was even seafood- huge bowls of shrimp and small fish. As we walked around, music from the World Cup was playing in the backround at a stall that sold many cds and dvds. Mulitcolored hammocks were everywhere and little dresses were hanging. There were mountains of shoes, some selling for as low as a dollar. There were a few Machetes lying on cloths too. One old man was fixing shoes, and he let me come up and watch him and take his picture. A few people incuding me bought mangoes to eat later. It was a fun experience. Later, back at the clinic, a few guys decided to buy machetes. They are now safely in the care of Mr. Douglas.
Last night was our first fundraising meeting. After dinner we all met in the library to discuss how we can raise money for our schools. There were many good ideas, such as baking cookies, having a concert at the orange peel, making a small movie to send to friends, and much more. Everyone is excited about raising money and we will continue to meet and talk about what we should do. The translators from Honduras also had some ideas for us, like selling artwork to raise money. We also will try to interview some of the kids at each school for our video, ranging from kindergartern to highschool.
Today, at the highschool, we had the opportunity to teach an English class which was fun for us and the students. We also met with the teachers to talk about what they want for the school so we can decide what we will try to raise money for. Today school got out early so that everyone could watch Honduras in the World Cup, which is playing right now. Everyone at school was excited and cheering for Honduras, and hopeful for victory. I will end the blog here so I can go watch the game.
