Chicken for Jaconá

This Saturday we visited Jaconá a community that is working with Fundación Leon XIII for a while now. They have a mushroom house and this time we brought them small chicken and held a workshop about how to take care of them. I prepared the flip-overs copying from a manual. For good eyes, see the nice drawings of the feed that one should give to the chicken. Wish I had made more drawings when I realised that very few of the women can read!!

But ok, we talked with them about how they are used to take care of the chicken and then presented the information on the flip-overs. I thought Alfonso was going to present the workshop, so was a bit surprised when he said: ¨Juanita, is going to do the favour of presenting this part on how to build a good chicken run¨. But it was only one flip-over and I did well. In the end isn´t it my aim to give my own workshops in the future?!! Where-ever on earth that may be... Meanwhile I am learning with the women.

One of the old women asked me where I was from.

¨Oh Holland, is that very far? Ah isn´t that next to that village we once visited, Benjamina? (talking about a village in Chiapas`neighbouring state)¨

¨No Doña Hermina, it is even further away, crossing a big sea (realising that she probably only heard speaking of the sea)¨
