At the moment the schools are reopening after the Summer Holidays {Dec-Jan} and there is a number of training meetings being held in the parish. Two weekends ago the Christian Youth Leaders had a training meeting. I am pleasantly surprised how Christian and Prayerful the "Joven" {Youths} are! Sadly because of the rains and conditions of the roads only a small number were able to make it in from the far away communities.
A little helper at the parish cooker. One thing the Amazon has is plenty of fire wood. This wood fired cooker is used for boiling the obligatory rice and beans.
The long dinner table is the Barracão {Parish Shed}
Another view
Washing up afterwards. {Priest included: When ever there is a gathering in the Barracão we don't have lunch in the priest's house but rather we join the gang at their lunch.}
A quiet time, notice the motor bike sheltering out of the rain and sun!
