As part of the commencement of activities for 2009, last month in January we held an excursion to Parque Metropolitano.
Maira Ivette and Maira Coco organized this event and were accompanied by mothers of the beneficiaries. In Maira Coco's own words “it was an intense experience”. On a normal Saturday, under the hot sun and in high spirits, everyone played, laughed, danced, ate and drank. Although in reality the organizers were worried because they had only one juice per child and it seemed that they would not have enough to go around. Nevertheless, in the end the day was a success.
They also enjoyed breaking into teams and games of soccer. Due to the fitting open space an enjoyable game of tug-of-war was able to be played perfectly even allowing for the players to fall without hurting themselves.
It is important to emphasize that this event was also the farewell of Egyptian volunteer, Salma Khattab who had been working with CODENI full-time for 4 months. Salma was always active and willing to help with anything that was asked of her. We thank Salma for being part of this important work.
