On April 4, about 25 of us took a road trip to the community center and water filtration project Lakeside Presbyterian Church supports at La Zapotera.

It was a joyful trip, full of information, lots of children, and a delicious lunch. Our church provides the food to make breakfast for 100-120 schoolchildren every weekday. The women of the community do the cooking. The cost is only about $3 pesos per meal!

Dian added to the festivities by creating balloon animals for the kids. They were fascinated — and thrilled with their gifts.
