Hacienda El Refugio Annual Christmas Party

Juan Carlos, Courtney and Facilitators 2010
On December 18th, we hosted our annual Christmas party. There were over 60 in attendance between the workers, their families and the facilitators who help during the year with our Ecuadorian groups.  The day started with a round of paint ball and "Ecua- volleyball".  We then enjoyed a great meal of fritada an Ecuadorian meal which is fried pork, llapingachos (potato pancakes), and mote (won't even try and explain :)  We set up an ice cream sundae bar for dessert and everyone loved it, especially picking their own flavors of toppings etc.  In an effort to combine both sides of our ministry, operations and programming, this was a great time for everyone to connect and celebrate the past year of ministry.  Thought you would enjoy looking at some of the pictures from the day.
