I work with a women's group. Of course we had to do something for Mother's Day! Ela invited all the women of our group, about 50 or so, to celebrate. Tuesday we pulled tables out from houses and brought ovens out from kitchens, placed them in my dirt yard and made cakes. Nine cakes.
Ela and I darted in and out of the house, grabbing clean spoons and salt, while the women worked away.
It's always a team effort, with plenty of bystanders.
Happily mixing. The cakes turned out great and were ready for the party the next day.
And then the festivities began. I didn't have much planned for the day; an activity where they share what their mothers' taught them, what they like about motherhood, etc. From there, Ela took over the party really started.
She taught us all kinds of games. Musical chairs got the women started...
Not long after that we couldn't stop the laughter. It's so fun to see these women cutting loose together and laughing. They are huge goofballs.
The mothers of Chirijox. We had about 40 women show up that day and each contributed a word or a laugh that made the party a success.
