Cada viernes, tenemos una fiesta y una
graduacion. Each friday we have a party and graduation.
As I think I
mentioned in my last post, each friday at school a dinner is held for
all of the students and teachers. The meal alternates each week from
a cena tipica (traditional guatemalan dinner made by the staff) and a
cena internacional (an international dinner made by the students).
The dinner is also a little party and "graduation" ceremony
for students who are finishing their last week of study at the
school.
Cada
estudiante que se gradua dicen a short speech o cantan una cancion
en espanol. A veces ellos traducen poemas o otros cosas. Each
student who is graduating says a short speech or sings a song in
espanol. Sometimes they translate poems or other things.
The dinner is a
celebration and along with that the staff plays music and sings
songs. There are lyrics to songs of the resistance from the war times
up on the walls that everyone can sing along to. It's not unlike a
campfire program at camp - so I of course loved it :) Afterwards
music is provided by radio and folks chat and play con la mesa de
futilio (with the foosball table). Following the dinner, we all went
out to a little bar around the corner that's owned by one of the
staff members for (more) drinks and dancing. It was a great way to
end the school week.
