Friday morning I went up to Caraz
to help out with a desfile (parade) at Brice’s CEBE. I don’t remember what the
acronym stands for exactly, but it’s a special education school. Friday was the
anniversary, so the school director decided to invite all the other schools in
Caraz to have a parade in honor of the rights of people with a handicap. Brice
and I went to the school a little earlier to help them make a few more posters.
While we were working soccer team from Lima came by to visit and gave the kids
new shoes and stuffed animals. The students were SO excited! I absolutely love this school. The teachers
are amazing and the students could not be sweeter.
Around
mid-morning we loaded all the students into a truck and took them to the start
of the parade. From there we walked through Caraz, into the town plaza. Lots of
other schools came to participate and they all had posters about inclusion and
rights of disabled students. As with any good parade there was a band walking
up front with us, so I got a few of the girls to dance along in the streets
with me, instead of just walking. It was an incredibly uplifting way to end a
week.
I
went back to Mancos for lunch with my family and then that afternoon I head
into Huaraz for our bi-monthly socializing :-P
