It is a tradition here at NPH to have a despedida (farewell party) with the section of boys/girls that you have been spending time with all year. Spending time with my section of girls was by far the best part of my NPH experience. We spent many a night laughing, telling stories, braiding each others hair, reading magazines, playing cards, breaking out hilarious dance moves and singing to the newest pop songs. This past month the sections all changed so we decided to have a despedida for the whole girls house..around 100 girls. We had a afternoon full of water, screaming, laughing, ice cream and fun music. The other volunteers in the girls house and I set up a home made slip and slide, we had water balloons, the girls bobbed for apples and everyone got a kick out of spraying one another with the hose.
