My sitemate, Zane, who works in the town hall of our site, had an idea to start a soccer league with the children around Santa Maria Chiquimula. The league ran from November until December 21st. Zane, Myself and my other sitemates, Valerie and Stephen all helped to pull this league together. There were 4 teams and 4 games every week. Let's just say once the championship was over, I think we could all take in a deep breath of fresh air! Adolescent boys are a handful!! There were many a time when I wanted to wash their mouth's out with soap, but I won't get into that :) I love other people's children :)

The final game was actually pretty sweet. There was a tie and both teams had to take penalty kicks. The team favored to win actually lost and it was a very exciting finish!

Our next group project is a World Map. We plan on painting a mural of the world on a wall outside of the health center. Zane also wants to start the town's first library, so that will definifely help keep us all busy!!
