Many different people pitched in to help have the comedor project ready for the anniversary. All the workers who have been working hard from the beginning kept at it and put in several late evenings, as well. Also, Maria Elena came from Mexico to help sew curtains, make party favors, decorate the comedor, etc. Jon and Kendra Buch and family came from PA to visit us for a week and helped with electrical work, painting and food prep. Many of the finca kids helped paint, clean up, decorate, make food, etc. Ernest and Doris Soady and Doris' sister, Margery McDonald, also came for a week to join in the celebration.
