Occasionally on Fridays we go we a sister from Australia to an area outside of puerto armuelles called limones, really close to Costa Rica to do service. Lots of indigenous people called the Ngöbe. It's a beautiful area right on the beach.
This was one of Kate's studies daughter she was playing with her little pig.
This is Kate's version of petting the pig
Kate's study in the traditional Ngöbe dress with her 2 kids and niece, she was about 18. They have kids so young here. She barely had any schooling growing up but is very smart. Her mother taught her to read and write which is a big deal since most of the young girls don't get that opportunity to learn.
She had a beautiful smile but wouldn't show it to the camera!
Another studies house, we got caught sitting outside in a huge rainstorm.
We would have stayed under cover till it passed but the roads were beginning to flood and we had to get our motor bike before it got washed away!

Had to use my Spanish here,it was a bit rough but we got through it.
It's always fun out in limones, the people are so kind and some of the most humble people you will ever meet are out in this territory. Really wonderful studies :)
