Culture Day Celebration

On Friday, October 10, we celebrated "Dia de Las Culturas" at school.  This is a day to celebrate and recognize all the different cultures, to pray for them, and to recognize that God loves all nations and desires all to come to Him.

Each first hour class was to select a country of the world and decorate a stand/table honoring the culture of the country.  Each stand was unique, using a variety of decorations, pictures, video, clothing, and food.

My class selected Ecuador.  Hannah and I don't actually have any Ecuador "stuff" here in Costa Rica so we had to borrow from teachers and from another couple (who is also heading to Ecuador after language school).




Our class schedule was modified to allow time for the special activities.  We first gathered in the gym to hear some details about culture day and watch some students (young and old) represent regions and countries of the world.  






















After the time in the gym, we walked the hallways to check out the displays of the different countries.  Here are a few:

Chile

Panama

Colombia
Bolivia


Nicaragua
Estados Unidos


Honduras
Israel






































Afterwards, we went to the Chapel and had a time of prayer.  It was a fun morning and a great reminder to celebrate our differences and to be in prayer for all nations.
