Dia de la Madre – Mother’s day at Misericordia’s workshop

Together, we celebrated mother’s day at the workshop. Until you’ve actually been to Peru, you won’t realize the importance this day has in this country. The women concerned were Blanca, Erminda, Marouja, Edith and Flor, the 5 mothers of the workshop. In the evening, after the day’s work, all members of the workshop shared a drink and paid tribute to these extraordinary ladies. We gave each of them a rose, and we ended the occasion with a typical Peruvian game: La Canasta. This game consists of filling a number of baskets with milk, honey, rice, pasta, drinks, etc. brought by the different members pf the team. Two winners were picked out of a hat.
