From the least to the oldest, all the children at Casa de Esperanza have chores. The children are assingned one chore for a week. It rotates every week.
As we take these children to raise, we have to think about preparing them to live in Honduras in ten or fifteen years. The older children are being taught things that will help them prepare to live in Honduras in the future.
Dennis worked with Brayan and Fito, showing them how to cut grass with the macheti. He was patient as he taught them. Brayan, especially is getting pretty good with that macheti.
Everyone will be taught to use the pila. Dilcia, Reina, and Elvia teach those lessons. They have worked with Doris. Today she was out there by herself washing away. Singing and smiling as she worked. When she saw Marc and I watching her, in true Doris fashion, she began to giggle. I watched a while. Seems like she is getting that down pretty good.
