Las Champas

The words mean tents and this is an annual celebration at the school which features traditional and dances. Each of the secondary classes were in charge of setting up tents representing different areas of Honduras. We were really excited because we were asked to work with the ninth grade to represent Bay Islands. Our task would be to provide hair braiding. Unfortunately, the rains came down and washed out our plans. But the show had to go on and despite the weather ,we were treated to good food and beautiful dancing.
