This Day of Celebration event was unique for a couple reasons. First of all, it is hosted at Zacarias Guerra Boys Home and the home is lucky enough to have a pool. Therefore as part of the day's activities each home had a set period of time that they could enjoy time playing in the pool. This was a first for most of the children and no one wanted to get out when their time was up.
This event also has long standing competition between homes in scooer and track and field. The junior boy's soccer tournament ended in a shoot out that had the entire crowd screaming and jumping around.
The homes spend lots of time preparing for the cultural show. They bring traditional costumes, many of which are made by the children themselves, and dance to folkloric Nicaraguan songs. Some of the homes sang or played musical instruments.
Given the large size of the Angels of Hope program in Nicaragua and the expensive costs of transportation we divided the event into different regions this year. This was the first event, taking place in Managua where the majority of the homes are located. The following events are in different regions of the country. The Angels of Hope program in Nicaragua includes over 20 children's homes and over 1,000 children.
