Day Twelve - La Primavera and Goodbyes at Nutre Hogar

Our last full day in Santiago was quite busy!  At 9:30 am, everyone went to a presentation of folklore dancing at La Primavera School.

Our students were invited to join the Primavera dancers during their final song.





Students from El Instituto Uraca visited La Primavera today to show us another traditional style of dance as well.

The Queen (and Savior) helps rid the town of the Devil.

Again, our students were invited to dance with the Uraca students.

The students think we're celebrities and come up with notebooks and pens at the ready.


Then, after our last lunches with our families, the American students all worked the afternoon shift together at Nutre Hogar.  In many ways, it was a sad day today though, because we all had to say goodbye to the babies we've grown so close with over the last week and a half.
