Jungle Pictures!
The Chiapas team is on their way back from their first jungle trip. It looks like it was an amazing week! Somewhere along the way traveling home they were able to find reception and get some pictures emailed off. More reports coming soon! For now, enjoy the pictures!Kids program in Plan de Ayala

A common sight is seeing the village ladies hauling water home from the community well. With no plumbing, this is a frequent task.

For some reason, our attempts to draw water from the well was a humorous highlight for several of the local ladies... maybe because we splashed it all over the place and took 5 times longer to accomplish the same task? Hey, we got water in the end! :-)
