Today we were invited to the school nearby the church that we are working on in Alejandra, Jose Maria Morelos.They were having a fiesta for one of their teachers who was retiring. They performed dances, poetry and skits. Watching this party made us realize how much respect is given towards teachers compared to the United States. It is hard to imagine such a large party just for retiring in the U.S. because some teachers at our own schools that were retiring barely got a goodbye, much less a party. It was a great experience to learn from a community with such a strong respect for elders and those who dedicate their lives to helping others.
