More at Faizi school

Our last day with the Faizi school coincided (without us being aware before hand!) with their Chile day march!

We had set off in the morning from our base at the Labranza Baha'i institute with Hero doing the very effective job of flagging the bus down...
And then hopped of the bus in Neuva Imperial, rang one of the Faizi school teachers, Jorge, who explained that everyone was in a different town participating in the national day celebrations!  So we caught a bus to the little town, which is located next to the Cautin river and walked up to the field where all the fun and games was taking place.

At the national day celebration, some schools put on special performances, like these dancers of the national dance "queca".

Delia with Laura, a Baha'í volunteer from Holland, who had just arrived at the Faizi school to give 3 months service.

Hurray for the Faizi school!

And other schools too (this one with kids wearing traditional Mapuche garb)...

Hero found various friends :

Including of course, Jorgito!
