...three new members to our mission family are...chickens, we went to deliver support to the only day care center in El Tigre, the center is run by the very precious Sister Maria,the only requirements of the children are...that they will bring a piece of dry wood to help cook the food that they will be eating (mostly soups and corn tortillas), she saw the need for small children at risk, parents leave to work or other kinds of distraction and often enough the oldest child is left in charge of the household, and that child may be only 5 years old...children at risk are many in number in the outer villages and pueblitos, Sis Maria, oversees 90 children at this point and the numbers only grow more...we at CCPena Blanca have told the story of Sis Maria and have gotten the attention of some private donators, and so we hand deliver the support when we can,many times the people we help, wish to show graditude to us, in this case we were given 3 live chickens;.. a rooster and two hens, we accepted them as they were available and did not wish to offend or hurt... so Eulogio, Leah and the other Leah, were glad to take on the challenge of making a pen, and habitat, as now the rainforest will provide many of the bugs and creepy critters that our egg layers will begin to consume a little song came to mind as I gazed at the birds (the tune of Old McDonald it goes like this "ole McChubins had a farm Leah, Leah, Loque", we do get a little creative out here must entertain ourselves!...as an extra note, the fire flys are big as neon green jelly beans and at dusk they come out and float about in the dark, sometimes decorating these huge trees of the rainforest like Christmas Trees!
