For our service project we worked at an after-school lunch/tutoring program called "Vamos." There are 21 different "Vamos" locations throughout the city and our group split up amongst them. Here some younger children eat lunch and pose for the camera.

As we left, there was a big performance going on in the center of town (Cuernavaca) with dancers and drums.

Katie, Kristen, Amy and Richard took forever crossing the street because they know that Mexican cab drivers stop for NOTHING! Albert and Brad wait impatiently on the other side.
