Party All Night Long

Last night, we attended a New Year ceremony with the village. Mr. Moses-Jenkins represented Berkeley Carroll, and was able to participate in the giving of backpacks to the local children who had recognition of their efforts in school. After the ceremony, Isabella's sister, Rhena, took us on a tour of her best friends' houses. We were greeted with sugar and smiles. At every house, we were invited to take a picture with the family, and her friends even poked fun at Sonny.

After all the excitement, some of us played a couple rounds of Uno, and some of us went out to party. Claudia's house was invited to a dance party, and Gale danced until 3 in the morning.Zach's house was filled with people offering coconuts and they wee all interested in the journals that Zach, Mike, and Sonny are writing in.

It was a late night for some, but we were able to sleep in until about 8. Now, Olivia and Isabella are with the family while the group went on a hike to see how bricks are made. After, we will be going down to the work site to hopefully finish up one more wall and start plastering.
