April 30th was Día del Niña/Children's Day which is a Mexican holiday celebrating kids. Pan de Vida again was blessed by some local organizations to make this not only a special day for everyone but a weekend event. It started Friday night with an open air movie at the city library to view "Despicable Me" while munching on popcorn and candy.
Then on Saturday, the kids went to the General Electric campus. They had a play area set up with inflatable jumping areas, fair like games where they could win prizes, twister, darts, jumbo jenga, guitar hero and video games. Over the past 2 months, GE has been doing a pen pal correspondence with the kids, so this allowed them to be partnered with that sponsor to share the special day. Of course there was lots of food. They had hamburgers, chips, pop, cotton candy, pop-ice and more. A rare treat for our kids.
The final event was hosted by "Somos Queretaro" at a local park. They provided a lunch of pizza and pop that was followed by an afternoon of games. They played, red light/green light, soccer, had water balloon toss and other activities. Then the group entertained everyone with a comical theatrical performance. God has truly blessed all our lives through the generosity of these organizations to make the children feel special on a day that is in honor of them.
