Pole Climbing.....Guatemala vs. Canada

The second prize has been captured....

It is more fun eating a cookie than watching these men
climb a pole...

The entire village came out to cheer....

Come on, Josh....go Canada, go...

Sometimes you need some help to climb the pole...

What happens when men decide to climb a 30+ foot pole
that has been greased with cooking oil? A lot of fun, laughter
and competition! This is actually a tradition in Guatemala and the
men from the village wanted to THANK the Canadian men for
spending three evenings with them and sharing from their heart.
The Canadians found out that you need to be much smaller to
climb the pole.

I'm just hanging out with my mom...

We gave the ladies underwear as it is expensive to buy...
They had fun picking out just the right ones.....

Marion, babysitting, so that the mom can participate in the class..

The next generation of women.....

Darlene helping one of the ladies....

I came along to help my mom with her craft...

The ladies worked hard to finish their Christmas craft,
and were very proud of what they had done.

Singing praises.......

The ladies received blankets and sweaters for their kids.
The blankets and sweaters were made by Helping Hands.
