What Do Colored Wristbands Stand For

MOST WANTED ... Father Andres Tamayo

CONTAINER FINALLY CAME UP ...


you can not make the idea of \u200b\u200bexpectation that has been able to become this big truck ...
we a little bit like I was an odyssey ... THAT JUST HAPPILY
with the first container arrived in Copan and hopefully not the last ....




Cesar Things
The container had a starting date in Spain in October at the latest, in fact Michael and I assure you our dear friend Cesar who traveled to Honduras for a long time if I wanted to be something heavy I could board the container because it is coming to Honduras shortly after he arrived. As it was, and among other things because we threw the store where we stored things went gradually delaying the date of loading the container.

can not come between December and January
As we approached December, we realized we had to wait until mid-January because it Populorum come home when there was no one to download because young people for Christmas is more than a month go home. In mid-January and could have been charged but ... after Christmas to everyone difficult to start ... and finally fixed for 16 February. But again a problem communicating with Honduras delay the date ... and we know how many times the issue was delayed but is ultimately left Barcelona in late March.

That it arrives!
For here we expected in late April to 29th April, Tuesday, we called the Embassy of the Order of Malta to confirm that they papers arrived and that the container would serve us next week, before sending the documents to the port of Cortes. To call one Jorge (customs officer) on Thursday or Friday I would say when he would reach the container.
call Thursday that George and I said it would arrive on Monday or Tuesday next. We told him we preferred to materialize the exact day of arrival. I said our friend Jorge was safer to arrive on Tuesday. So we started thinking mobilize coming on Tuesday ...

The truck
Tegus We call for someone to come with the truck. It is the first visit to Copan container and did not know if would be able to reach the front door. How about you stay on the road ...? Came from Tegus 9 people included and the poor truck arrived on the same Tuesday at 2 am if the container arrived that same Tuesday very early in the morning.


Old Village Youth
We also had the bright idea to invite the youth of the community of Jose and Rigo (two of the boys in the house) to help us. These 24 young people come every Sunday to get live computer classes but must be removed and with them several days earlier. And as we had agreed on Tuesday at noon I went to find the truck that came from Tegus and brought to the house and while the container was less started with the computer class. By then we were told that there was a small problem with the papers and was not going to arrive that evening. We invite young people to sleep but we were not sure where we were going to get. At the end of the excitement still slept on mattresses between the lounge and chapel.

dinner for 50 people ...

woke ready to receive early contender ... but it does not reach ... useless calls that do not confirm anything, and while dynamic heating and English refresher class for these young people who had so kindly come here. At 12 after lunch and we drop our heads in shame because the container has not arrived and did not find to say to these young people. We have no say goodbye and thank them for their good will. Luckily it had a good, learned, and have not eaten bad ...

Mother's Day.
So far we were concerned about not having enough hands to help us: We seek the truck, volunteers and youth Tegus Old Village but now we are below the minimum, we are beginning to worry that the container arrives on Saturday afternoon and we meet Michael and I downloaded the container alone. It turns out that this Sunday is Mother's Day in Honduras and the kids this weekend are allowed to go home to congratulate their mothers


Now I beseech those of Maerz that since the container It took 5 days to arrive, you better not do it until Monday ... So far it seems that they are complying. We are on Sunday night and did not come. Miguel and I have been happy for a few hours this weekend: No youth, no container, no more alone ... but still ...

Mofid
Well a little bit what I said before ... So that alone ... has occurred but it has lasted poquisíiisimo while ... While youth are gone home, our friends the little neighbors have not missed an appointment each day ... and Miguel especially motivated today and has been playing with them "plates" recalling his childhood days on the streets of Palencia ... children have been good encantadísimos. Now do not stop playing ...

Returning to the subject of the container, we wondered: Will you come tomorrow? Isaiah has invited the youth of their community (the Plain) to come to us to help. But we are no longer venture to say anything ... Who knows, excuses can be thousands ... and perhaps be delayed another week.

comes the container.
Yes, we are not what we believe but the container comes, has been swift but by noon, 12 pm we called the driver who is in the town of Gate. You only have 1 hour away. Jose says he will call your community, Pueblo Viejo who said they were going to lose again to help us.




The container is in the street! Uff, now comes the good part ... will enter the street to the house?



Mil reverse operations to straighten the truck and the streets are too steep for the container and nails from the bottom ...


That was the road engineer who last year ... my mother never had that in mind ...

an hour until the container comes from the street to the house (100 meters)










The famed Palo electricity; to stay in the middle of the street and for which we had many discussions with the engineer, has been drawn by the driver ... A man's heaven ... I do not think drivers futures as well as the curren ...

So finally the container well to get well within the precincts of the house ... A WOW!
















and then .... with the battalion of young people we've got it downloaded in 2 short hours. Nothing more, nothing less. GENIAL! It was a pleasure to have so many people that helped us:













packages and more packages ... where will? The room that used to hold and does not give itself over
































And then the reward a little cool occasional gift for ... young people who came to help. LUCK TO HEM THEM HAD OS

Our friends little neighbors are targeted to all ...

And after a snack rather than won ... have been dealt a camisestas, some bags and some hats for these young people who have carefully worked well ...
