Happy Mothers Day(better late than never)

For those mother´s out there, Mother´s Day falls in December here in Panama. I have some pics from a small party that was hosted at a school about 30 minutes down a dirt road from my community. I spoke with one of the mother´s who had 9 children graduate from this elementary school and said that in all her years as a parent that the school had never done anything like this before for them. She was pretty excited as were most of the mother´s. There was even a piñata for the mothers, it was a fun event. By the way this is a really small school with about 20 students in a poor rural area, some of these students walk 2-3 hrs everyday just to get to school.
Some of the kids playing soccer before the Mom´s day party.

Mom´s and their kids at the party.The piñata for the moms.

Those kids better look out. The Moms are on a serious candy mission.
