Internacional Dia de la Mujer

Here are some pictures from our event. Unfortunately, not as many women came as were expected or hoping for, but nonetheless, the girls gave their presentations and we ate lots and lots and lots of cake! I'm also putting some photos from Angel's 5th birthday... a roundup of the week, if you will. Enjoy!

Definitely worth it! Beautiful cake!
Everyone practicing do-it-yourself breast exams
Yes, that's an over-sized drawing of a uterus, and yes my girls are explaining how it works.  They are wearing their uniforms from school. This is the uniform for all public schools in the country.
Finishing the evening, Ambar, Yoryi and Bethania tell the women in the audience that if a man loves you, he will never hurt you emotionally or physically. Hooray girl power!
Angel, Silvia and Anyel respectively. Angel's 5th bday. Angel is pronounced like "On-hill" and Anyel is pronounced like we would say the name Angel in English.
All of Angel's friends with "serious faces" at the party. Dominicans love those serious photos.
