Yesterday was the Christmas event for the kids from Alfredo's school in Ventanilla and kids from the surrounding area. Unlike last week's monstrosity, only (!) 80 kids turned up today as Alan García, the president of Peru and the mayor of Callao were both visiting nearby communities to hand out fish and potatoes (as incentives to get people there so they can all celebrate how great Alan García is for getting water to the community!)A friend of Alfredo offered their show for the kids which was really excellent (so good that they are booked up every weekend until July 09), and then the kids received paneton, hot chocolate and bags of sweets.
