After we finished cleaning the kitchen and dining hall, we went out to burn a 25 meter roll of noisemakers.
The guys unrolled it in the walk area between the dining hall and hospital. Milton, Cristofer and Obdulio work on getting it unrolled.
Finally accomplished.
Oscar lights it, as Dr. Walter feels that it is best to walk away!
I do not have a video of this but it sure made a lot of noise and a huge mess!
Then it was time to go out to the soccer area and have some fun with the pinatas. We had one for the ladies and one for the men. Milton, Luis and Cristofer helped set this up.
Naby, a dentist, was the first up and we blindfolded her to make it a little more interesting!
She goes after it!
She makes some contact and the pieces fall..........
Marta, is one of our nurses, and goes in for the candy!
Next up is Darling.
She soon makes some contact!
And the mob rushes in for the kill!
Rosalia walks away with a stash! Rosalia recently went to work in dental full-time.
Violeta gets a few swings in!
Violeta still going after it, as everyone dives in for the candy!
When she finishes, there is some still left so Silvia gets a few swings in.
Now it is time for the guys to have a shot. First up is Jorge.
He is able to eliminate a few pieces and then it is Alfredo's turn. You can see Obdulio cheering his dad on! Obdulio is in the red shirt, to the left of the pinata.
After just a few swings, Alfredo has totally emptied the pinata!
Next time we do this, I will near to buy protective gear!
Dr. Nehemias is happy with his yield!
Cristofer and Obdulio did not do too shabby either! Cristofer works with our accounting and Obdulio works in several areas. When he can learn new things, he is thrilled. Leslie, below, is his wife.
We also had another activity that several enjoyed. Kemmel and Leslie are at one end. Leslie is an dental assistant and also studying to be a physical therapist.
On the other end is Berta and Miguel. They were soon married after this photo was taken. Berta is a health promoter and studying to be a nurse. Miguel is one of our guards.
Jose Manuel, taking a shot, as the other guys cheer him on. Jose Manuel is a health promoter.
Diego takes a turn and he also is a health promoter.
Manuel, a health promoter from Chichicastenango attempts a few tosses.
As people stayed for the night-time fireworks, I was able to get a few more photos.
This is the dental group at Ezell.

Soon, we will head down to the river and the staff from Chichicastenango will do their fire extinguisher training and then we will have the fireworks.
