| Si te gusta el café, tal vez empezés tu dia buscando leña para hacer café. If you like coffee, you might start your day at the woodpile. A good shot of caffeine to give you as much energy as a casino player will be a great start to your day! |
|
| Aquí cocinamos todo la comida. Para hacer café, hay que arder fuego. Ya con el fuego tambien vamos
a calentar los frijoles, para que no se pudran. Here we cook all the food. To make coffee, one must light a fire. Once the fire is lit, we will also heat up the beans, so that they do not spoil. |
|
| Acerca de la cocina, verías a Pedro moliendo comida para las gallinas. Near the stove, you may also see Peter grinding chicken food. |

Ya ves lo que es la comida de las gallinas. Maiz de la finca, frijol soja y terciopelo de
la finca, trigo sorgho de la finca. Para producir pollo y huevos para la comida de nosotros. This is chicken food! Corn from the farm, soybeans and velvet runner beans from the farm, sorghum from the farm. This will become eggs and chickenmeat for us to eat.
|
| Deben dar comida y agua a las gallinas tres veces por dia. You should give the chickens food and water three times a day. Esto es una gallina ponedora. This one is a laying hen. |
|
 |
Aparte son los pollitos de crecimiento. Hay que darles su comida aparte. The broilers (chickens for meat) are kept separate. They have to be fed separately.
|
| Si hallés algo quebrado, por favor decínos, para que lo reparamos. Mira como un voluntario
se fijó bien cuando el comedor de las gallinas se había quebrado, y lo repararó. If you find anything broken, please let us know, so we can fix it. Notice how this volunteer took note when the chicken feeder was in disrepair and fixed it. |

La comida viene de nuestra finca. Aunque tambien compramos algunas cosas, como el aceite que

| Puedes pagar a alguien para lavar tu ropa, ó la podés lavar vos.
Despues vas a colgarla en la piñuela para que se seque. You can either pay someone to wash your clothes, or you can wash the clothes yourself. You will hang up your clothes to dry on the piñuela cactus. |
Cada persona tiene que traer un viaje de agua diario. Nicaraguan girls carry water in buckets on their head. Volunteers use pitchers like those pictured, and if they want, the yoke Peter made. |
