Villagers and Students Celebrate Inauguration of Villa Housing Project

After planning for two weeks, the villagers unveiled their housing inauguration party to celebrate the completion of the houses at Villa. The families had wanted to wait for the first group of students to arrive from the United States before celebrating this great feat. The villagers had balloons, cards and banners prepared and waiting to present to the students upon their arrival Sunday to the work site. The day was marked by games, music and a pinata. The students and the children participated in a cake walk, a sack race, musical chairs, and many other games. The highlight of the game was a volunteer versus villa kids soccer game. The volunteers put up a tough fight, but were no match for the mass of children who manages to get a few goals against the volunteers. The volunteers fared better against the villa men's team, who they managed to tie after a hard fought game.
