Graduation Week in Rural GTO & house rebuilding
Dear Patrons,

This is graduation week in rural Central Mexico. An official ceremony takes place when a student leaves preschool (after 3 years), elementary school (after 5 years), jr. high (after 3 years) and high school (another 3 years). Few rural students make it past 6th grade, so each graduation is a BIG deal. As a result, each of the the ceremonies are attended by the whole rural community.

Due to so many graduation ceremonies, the work on the burned out house slowed as one or another of the workers was not in the house. Also, straightening out the walls by smoothing the stucco is a VERY slow job. So, although it looks boring (day after day), the results are gorgeous!

Last night, the stone masons started on the bathroom, Now THAT room is going to be a jewel. The girls said that a dolphin on the door would be really special. Well, sure, This is a dessert community; that would be amazing. Anyway, the family was given four boxes of large wall tile, about 6" x 10" each. Don bought two of the same size with dolphins on them! He is going to put the dolphins on the shower wall. I m so excited about seeing the look on the girl's faces...

Again, Thank You for making this dream come true.
