Every year in Honduras, and many other countries that are heavily influenced by Catholic traditions, the week before Easter is celebrated as Holy Week, or Semana Santa in Spanish. Classes are suspended during this week, and children everywhere spend time playing soccer and swimming in the many rivers. In our area, there are so few activities for children to be a part of. Just like in the US, television takes up a lot of young peoples' free time. We wanted to offer young people in our area, a fun activity to participate in during their week of vaction. So, with the help of a group from Radiant Life Church in Indiana, we hosted a Kids Day. We invited children from Urraco (our village), San Luis (a village that's about 45 minutes up a path from our village), and Japon (Japan, a small village just down the road).
