Carnival at El Bichito (Erin)

Post from Erin at El Bichito:
Today in an effort to teach the kids the importance of having clean clothes we had a pre-Carnival water party. We started out by talking about where water comes from and what we can do with water. We tried to focus on the importance of having clean clothes, especially how it can help them get better jobs when they are older. We then asked the kids to show us how to properly wash clothes with a bucket of water and a bar of laundry soap. We washed the shirts we had asked them to bring yesterday.

After we hung the shirts up to dry, we played some water games. We had a water balloon toss and then a little water balloon fight. Of course, the interns were the main targets. We hope to make this a weekly tradition for the summer- to provide incentive we told them that next week if they bring a shirt to wash they will get an extra water balloon for the games!
