Birthday Parties at the home.

Tuesday was Enibeth´s 10th birthday.
Although we celebrate Birthdays all together every month sometimes a girl´s godmother will get a cake for the very day. This is very typicle of birthday cakes here. You can see the basket of recycled candles. I will give Eni a picture of the cake and one of the pictures below. Turning 10 means some new challenges for her. She will now wash her own clothes by hand and also learn to iron and be responsible to iron her school uniforms and dress for church on Sunday. Here she is with all 10 candles lit. On her right is the director, Elba Flores, and next to her is Guissell and the left is Mari Isabel who shares the same last name but is not closely related. Next to her is Evelia. This year Eni has mastered the multiplication tables.
Here is the whole gang - just about. The adult on the right is one of the House Mothers or child care workers. She grew up in the home and is now studying in the University at night.
The three in the blue shirts are in middle school or junior high - grades 7,8,9 and the two with while shirts and blue ties are in High School. To the right is our secretary Beni, who also grew up in the home. She too is going to the University at night. Our well liked cook is on the left, nearer to Eni and the other woman does the laundry - sheets, towels, Sunday clothes and mends. She also washes the youngest kids clothes.
Here she is making a wish! If you make a comment I can show it to the girls and also they can use my blog to answer through comments.
