Best Friends

best friends

Today at Mary Mitchell we celebrated Valentine’s Day.

A lot of the children were quite when Miss Josefina, who is Dominican, explained to them that Valentine’s Day is not only about love between a woman and a man but is also about celebrating your friends. In the Dominican Republic the term they use on Valentine’s Day is el dia del amor y la amistad. She said in DR it’s more about friendship.

Here is a photo I took last year of a group of friends who happen to be in the right place at the right time.

They are posing in the Bronx in the West Farms Area near the 2 and 5 train-station. The art work is a sculpture done by Gabriel Salazar.

I didn’t even notice that Jen-Jen had trash in her hands until I looked at this photo. Her and her siblings were picking up rocks to trow into the water.

Barretto park was not that dirty but it was dirty enough. I saw a few diapers on the ground and that was it.

This is the director of the Mary Mitchell Center  -wearing her garden hat- smiling with her lovely daughter. She is the strong force that holds down the “No Junk Food” policy at the center.

It is only fitting that I include a photo of her for my Hats or Hats Not Project while wearing a garden hat.
