Today is the first day of Day of the School. It's a field-day event that lasts for three days here at El Sembrador. It's a pretty big deal, because we are divided into teams, and the boys compete in everything from basketball to sack races. And, they get out of class for three days - how cool is that? Day of the School is a common event in Honduras, usually a day to celebrate the anniversary of the said school. This weekend is the birthday of the El Sembrador founder, Donal Hawk, and so this is when we celebrate Day of the School.
I am a co-captain this year, with Lori, for the Rojos, or red team. Today's events include the "marathon" (a 5K), the 4 x 100 relay, the eating contest and finals for basketball and baseball, with some other random activities scattered between. It's going to be a busy three days, because the other days are just as full.
Go Rojo!
