Since 2004, our church, Jesucristo Rey, has put on a Circo (circus) that raises money to benefit a local organization. It is a big production and the kids in the Sunday School program participate. We were incredibly impressed by the use of their own time and human resources to put on such an amazing event (sewing, painting, designing, music, dancing, choreography, etc.). The kids sold bonos for 10 pesos each in an effort to raise money to give to Prodanea, a program that helps children with “epidermolisis ampoliar” (they have a rare skin disorder that causes their skin to fall off when touched).
We had a fun night of laughing, drinking mate, and being thankful.
Johnny’s age group were prehistoric creatures and Johnny was the head of the caterpillar-saurus.
The 6 & 7 year olds were knights and princesses.
Did we tell you the Fields are back? (We’re so happy!)
The 8 & 9 year olds were Egyptians with a mix of clown-parts.
This would have been Andrew’s group, but as you know, he prefers to skip out
on these types of things instead of pinching himself through it.
The pre-adolescents and adolescents were robots from the future. David had fun dancing and juggling. (Today, at school, he’s in an acto with the other 5th graders and "has" to dance with a girl. No comment.)
These were 2 of the funniest clowns I have ever seen.
I’m not particularly fond of clowns, but these guys had us crying we were laughing so hard.
And this act was so fun. They did a bunch of hand tricks all together. We loved it.
There were lots of other great acts that were creative and very well-done.
It was a great night.
And tonight marks the first game of the Copa America!!!
The Fields will be joining us for the big event. Go Argentina!
