Honduras: Amusing Waiting Children!

While the children are waiting to receive their gifts we take the opportunity to interact and connect with them. We have found that using puppets, some bilingual flash cards and singing simple songs like "Head and Shoulders" allow us to be kids again and they enjoy seeing a fun side of the team. One of our team members has been a big hit with his magic tricks that include a disappearing red ball that turns into a square. We have all learned to play the kazoo which is somewhat foreign to these children. These fun things make the wait a little more fun. The children are keen to learn English and in turn teach us some Spanish!
