Today we went to the school "El Flower Hills".  We went through each classroom introducing ourselves, in English and Spanish.  They were celebrating the Afro-Colombian heritage and there was a braiding competition.  We were chosen as their judges.  It was difficult.  Later the entire school celebrated with a beauty queen and king pageant.  It was interesting and different for our students.  They continued discovering diverse cultural practices.


We ended the evening with a meeting with the teachers and after some short introductions, the teachers showed great interest in having us in their classrooms.


Tomorrow we will go to another island in a small plane: "Providencia"


I also keep going to meetings. Today I had an interview with the president of the university in San Andrés and our relationship is formalizing.  We have future here for our Oneonta students and important partnerships with this community.
