group of 25 students
traveled to the Sister

organize a posada for
children and parents.
Activities
included
talks, games, and hand-
ing out gifts like soccer
balls to the children.
“I was amazed by the enthusiasm from both the parents and the
students while at the Sister School,” NHS president Pablo

yearly event, a significant portion of the small community.
