On February 18, 2014, we visited Francisco Javier Mina Escuela Primaria in Punta de Mita Mexico. We delivered schools supplies and lax equipment to the boys and girls. They danced and sang for us and we were even treated to a reading of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax in Spanish. Luckily I already knew the story because my Spanish is not THAT good! One little boy wanted so badly to come back to NY with us. I tried to discourage him by telling him it was too cold and he just kept shouting "¡No importante!" He was also obsessed with trying to talk to me about a big happening on Mexican TV the night before. The translator kept trying to explain to him that I'm not familiar with Mexican TV, but he wouldn't hear of it! lol He was the best! The kids played lax in the field and shared their lunch with us. They had nachos with cheese and hot dogs with cheese. Sounds good to me! The gave us decorated lollipops with the letters TQM. I was told that means, Te quiero mucho," which translates to "I love you very much." It's a Valentine's Day sentiment. In Mexico, Valentine's Day is for celebrating friendships. We loved our time at the school. The kids were so great! Thanks to all our donors! Muchas gracias!
