Doña Dina has the warmest of the smiles at UPAVIM. (I’ll just say many others are tied in first place, to not hurt anyone’s feelings…)
She celebrated her 50th birthday this last Sunday, and the next day shared some moments over dinner with the volunteers, in the kitchen at UPAVIM’s roof.
It was a very nice evening, and I got to know some of the ways how Guatemalans celebrate birthdays. After the cake, everyone around the table, one at a time, share something nice about the person whose birthday is being celebrated. Then she (or he) says something back about each of the persons around, again once at a time.
I need to bring this one back home…
