SILEM opened a nursery in Guatajiagua, Morazan a few months ago.am pretty sure that your internship is over and that you will be coming home soon. I am sure that we will chat more about this on the call on the 4th. The reas The nursery is currently located at the Casa Comunal and will be moving in about a week to SILEM´s own building. I want to note that in Guatajiagua live indigenous that speak Nahuat and Spanish.

Today a group of about 13 went to Guatajiagua and painted the building red and white! The inside walls are white with red childrens handprints in a line along the wall. The outside is red and white.

Leli Ventura and other members of her family, Marvin (who works at SILEM), Balmoris and two other youth from OSCA, Teresa (a girl from Spain who has been visiting the community CSM for three months) and myself spent the entire day painting! We left SILEM (in San Luis) at 8am and returned at 6pm.

It was a long day and the nursery only needs a new floor and a few more finishing touches!
