Children's Day

Children's Day 2009 from Meredith Jones on Vimeo.

Though not the best video ever, I posted this because I want y'all to see how FUN my job is!

This video was shot last Friday when we traveled up to the remote jungle village of Auga Fria. We go to Agua Fria every Friday to visit Dona Reymunda, a widow that we work with (more on her later), and this particular Friday happended to be Children's Day. For those of you who don't know, Children's Day is a holiday in Honduras that is bigger than Christmas and your birthday combined! Because of the poverty in Agua Fria, the kids up there weren't going to be able to celebrate this day set aside especially for them, so we decided to help them celebrate! With little gift bags, lots of candy and a pinata we set off from the office for the jungle.

The outreach in Agua Fria started from a church that we work with in Choluteca. The people up in Agua Fria are amazing and have a strong faith in the Lord. My, oh my, you should hear the sweet little prayers of the children! Now, if only I had a video of that... maybe next time.

Anyhow... my job is awesome! Hope you enjoy!
