Tienda de Gaby
In Spanish class today, at the children's home, my daughter Gaby had a tienda (small store) and "sold" chocobananos to the kids. Gaby was learning how to make change for purchases with quetzales. It was a high pressure job for Gaby as she had 30 very eager and hungry little customers waiting for their chocobananos. The kids had a great time, loved the chocobananos and Gaby learned how to make change under great pressure. We even had our dogs hanging out with the kids, as any tienda in Central America would have.

Hello there,
My name is Dawn Dais and I wrote to you a few months back and never received a response. I am friends with Florence Gainor (my aunt, Rose Marie Garofalo and Florence visited your children's home during their trip to Guatemala). I am leading a trip of about 5 people to Antigua Guatemala in November for two weeks. We will be going to Spanish school in the mornings and would love to volunteer at your school a few afternoons if that is possible and if you are in need of volunteers. We've all volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and will actually be coming straight from a week in New Orleans building with Habitat. We are going to balance our trip out with plenty of culture as well as volunteering and we'd love to spend some time at your establishment if you are in need of volunteers. We will be a group of four or five individuals most likely.
Please respond and let me know if there are any volunteer opportunities available November 13-22.
I hope to hear from you soon,
Dawn Dais
