Lack of Children

I had imagined a crazy day. All the kids returning, screaming, throwing things, each one wanting to do a different thing…I knew I’d be exhausted, but it would be worth it, because today was going to be the grand day when everyone saw the mural!

As should be expected, nothing ever goes quite as planned. In fact, no children came today. A member of the Health Ministry needs to come to el comedor and officially reopen it before families are allowed to eat there and kids are allowed to come. And no one knows when that will be. It could be tomorrow, it could be late this week, and it could be after I leave. So today was spent chopping onions, garlic, and preparing today’s postre—batata and queso—delicious. We’ll just have to wait until the government decides to show up.
