Last Friday, Clare, a fellow volunteer, and I planned a pyjamada for the girls! We decorated the house with balloons and streamers, and set up a floor of mattresses to watch movies all night and a dance floor on the second floor! Although I think Clare and I had more fun dancing than the girls, the pyjamada was a hit!
We started the night dancing to the girls favorite artists--Jonas Brothers and Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus ans Selena Gomez, Rhianna and Justin Beiber! The littler girls had a lot more fun on the dance floor than the older girls. After some dancing, we watched Camp Rock 2, which the girls have been dying to watch! A DVD of current, popular music videos was the next on the list. And, finally, we ended our night with some Karaoke! Yes, the girls love karaoke and had a blast singing to High School Musical songs and other pop artists from Latin America!
I am so fortunate to have this opportunity to work with these girls! Each girl is absolutely amazing! I will never forgot the special moments I share with them, like the pyjamada! They have truly made my life in Bolivia complete!
This week I am traveling with the volunteers and directors of Ninos con Valor to the region of Miaque in the department of Cochabamba. We will be renovating a daycare in a small town with very few residents and no running water or electricity! I am excited to meet the families we will be helping, and working with the kids and teachers in the daycare! Also, I am excited to see another part of Bolivia!
I miss everyone so much! Sending all my love!
Megan, it sounded like the perfect evening for all the girls and tias alike. I bet they all have so much fun. Hope you took pictures of the activities. The Karaoke must have been fun. You are bring so much joy into their lives and I know they have enriched your life just as much. I miss you my Megan...Can't wait to see you soon...A. Nance
