Christmas 2009 at Finca El Peten – 12/09

The holiday season was welcomed with high spirits this year on the farm. All employees were invited for Christmas dinner on the farm. Afterwards, a Christmas basket filled with essentials such as rice, beans, soap, etc., was raffled off for the temporary employees.

Each permanent employee received their own Christmas basket, however those last in line had to perform a dance with Scarleth in order to receive the basket.

It was a lot of fun and a ton of laughs. An additional basket was donated to the local church.
