School!

Here are some pictures of the school i´ve been working at for the past month in a neighborhood outside Trujillo called Nuevo Jerusalem. This is the outside of the school, which has 17 students. It´s pretty basic, with a dirt floor and reed mats for a roof. Fortunately the weather here is almost always dry and warm.

The kids who took most of these pictures were surprisingly good photographers:

Laura, the youngest student, is five years old:

The kids get a lunch of soymilk and a sandwich at the end of school every day:

Some of the boys found a lizard on the playground:

One of the girls surprised her uncle at his house:

This is one of the girl´s cousins- only four days old!
