In Nicaragua, as in many Latin American countries, October 12th (what in the US is called Columbus day) is celebrated as Dia de la Raza (day of the race). I missed the party Friday morning due to a site visit to a school where we work, but here is a taste of the cultural celebration held in my office to commemorate and celebrate our intercultural ministry.
Please tell Dona Mercedes for me that she looks muy guapa!

ReplyDeleteLove your blog,friend...

My family is sponsoring a child in Nicargua and her most recent letter asks us if we celebrate dia de la raza. As I was researching the word, I found your blog...crazy huh? Anyhow, any insight you have into the culture that would help us connect with this kiddo (she'll be 10 in April) would seriously be appreciated.
