Rosanna's husband is a farmer here he is showing off one of the

radishes he grew! That was huge! We haven't eaten any radishes yet but I think we might give it a try. They said to cook them and eat them
with tortillas. They eat all the food they grow and sell the rest at market.

Monday morning we will spend some time with Rosanna and her husband to show them a way to weave a simple rug.

Finished up at Roseanna's and moved on to Buena Vista to see Mefi and our new building.






BUENA VISTA - COMMUNITY CENTER

This room will be our new sewing room in
Buena Vista. It is a secure building that will provide plenty of space. We are excited to begin setting up on Monday afternoon. We will be organizing all of the sewing supplies that everyone had donated. We also will be building a work table to use for layout and cutting patterns.
The new sewing machines should be in by next week.Things don't always move as fast as we would like in Belize.  Lots of work before we can sew. If you look at the ceiling you will see lights AND ceiling fans. We will also be able to use irons.
Occasionally they will need  to move our machines etc. into the computer room. Norma(lady in charge of sewing room) and a teacher will do the moving.

This is the computer training room which is a separate and a secure room.
