Last Day at La Raza

The past week's been super busy. All kinds of meetings and goodbyes. I got to go to their mini Olympics for street kids. There were probably 200/ 300 people there. It was crazy. But I knew like 40 of them so it was kind of fun. We caught up with a bunch of them that hadn't been to the Center in a long time. The next day, we had 25 people show up at La Raza. We can only take in 16, but it just goes to show how many people are in need and find a place in our center.

Today was my last day and Paty and Alex made me Pazole which is a super traditional Mexican dish. It's basically giant corn soup with shredded beef. They eat it with tortilla chips and sour cream. So good! Mexican food in the states is nothing like what I've eaten here. Tortillas are the same... Rice also... but everything else is completely inaccurate. It's way better the legitimate Mexican way.

Here's some pictures from this past week.

This was today after my goodbye meal.


And these are from my last few days with the Chavos.
