I just posted a small photo album to the Yahoo La Pedrera Group site:

This Friday a group of about 20 students from the project boarded a
bus from Casa Xelaju to visit senior citizens at the "Hogar de
Ancianitos de Maria Luisa de Marilar". They performed modern and
traditional dances, put on a play, and then invited audience members
out on the floor to dance. Then they served a delicious home-made
pastel (cake) with tea. It was topped of by beautiful speeches from
both sides expressing gratitude and joy at being able to be together
for a short time.

I was really impressed by the good behavior of the kids, their
gracious attitude and the fact that the Project Director, Teresa De
Leon is doing such marvelous work with this group of kids, teaching
them positive values, combining aspects of traditional Mayan heritage

Enjoy the photos.
