pio xii group

Javier, our housing administrator, together with Maite, promised us a treat for breakfast last night. He said it would be something other than what we were having the last couple of days (pastry bread and chocolate power drinks). So after dressing up and partially packing and securing my bag, I went outside to the school court to see what's for breakfast. I am kinda excited because I was told by the others last night that breakfast would be a traditional Spanish food - churros and chocolate! :)

The bread was kinda salty and the chocolate thick. One of the delegates, after eating her first churros, told the Pinoy volunteers: "Ate, it just kind of tastes like tuyo and champorado!" Hahaha. Indeed, it was something like that but it was a really nice treat and the churros were overflowing and the chocolate syrup was served from these large styro cups (as in really large, equivalent probably to a super large drinks cup from the fastfood chains).

After breakfast, we had our group picture for posterity :)

Thanks to Ate Beck for sharing us this picture! :)

So thankful for the volunteers (green shirts), especially our fellow Pinoys, for helping us with everything and making us feel at home in our "school home." Special mention also to Javier and Maite for the warm welcome and the care you both have shown everyone. For me, you were like my foster parents. Thank you.
