Schools not in session results in FULL sewing classes, about San Vicente, Mexico, Jan. 26th from Lori



There hasn't been school the last few days because of the rains and with families being housed at the schools. Actually, whenever more than a few sprinkles arrive in San Vicente, school is canceled or just a few teachers and students show up. Those of you reading this blog who live in rainy climates probably think this is riduculas. But, many of the dirt roads just become too muddy to traverse in the hilly terrain where water collects in the low laying areas.

The result of there being no school has resulted in a greater number of teenage students at the sewing class. Today, I had 11 for the morning class and 10 for the afternoon session. Projects for the week include wool scarfs, napkins, baskets, and lined tote bags. Several of the girls pictured decided to personalize their bags with hearts.
