Sixth Grade Graduation

People in Honduras do not receive the same amount of education as we do in the United States.  The majority receive no education.  For those that do, completing sixth grade is a huge accomplishment.  Therefore, sixth grade graduation is a big deal in this country and cause for big celebrations. 

This was Casa's first year to have sixth graders.  And we had two that graduated today, Brayan and Pamela. 
Preparations for this day have been underway for weeks.  We do not like to wait until the last minute to get things done, but Friday night no one knew where the ties were.  I was going to send Matt to buy two ties on Saturday, but before that was necessary the ties appeared.  Pamela started last night getting ready.  Ironing her shirt.  And her hair. 




After graduation, Marc took Brayan and Pamela to town to eat at Chili's.  Neither one of them have ever been to Chili's.  They were looking very forward to that treat.

Congratulations to Brayan and Pamela.
