Cooking Classes, Pinata Making!

What a busy, but fun two weeks!
Together, with a ministry called CEPUDO,
we were able to have pinata making
and cooking classes for some of the
young ladies (and not so young) ladies
in our village. The teacher came and
stayed in the hotel here and we had
cooking classes in our kitchen every
weekday for two weeks from 8am - 1pm.
At times, we had up to 30 women in our kitchen!

The pinata classes were every weekday from 1pm - 5pm.

Amanda participated in the pinata making classes and April

participated in the cooking classes. And yes, they both graduated

and received diplomas!

We are planning on having more classes in the future.

Our hope for the future is to have

a classroom/workroom available

permanently for the young ladies

and women to learn the pinata making.

We are also hoping to be able to provide

classroom/workroom for sewing classes.

In order to do this, we need to have

funding for the remodeling of the

house to provide this extra space.

Please pray with us concerning Gods direction for this.

Even though many of the ladies in our

village are very interested in making

and selling the pinatas, they simply

do not have the space in their houses

needed to work on or store the pinatas.

Most of the ladies here have a one room

house, dirt floor, and scrap wood for sides.
