We were SURPRISED and touched by an amazing performance that was put together by the students at the last minute to show their appreciation for the work that we accomplished at the school, the bonds and friendships that were created throughout the week. During the celebration, students danced in traditional Mayan clothing and shared a piece of their prideful history with us as outsiders. The students performed many traditional dances as well as served a traditional hot corn drink and chicken tamales for us to enjoy during the traditional dances. We were all very touched to experience this celebration because it was totally unexpected. Afterward we were able to engage with students and take pictures upon many of their requests before sharing a final goodbye and heading to Lake Atitlan.
