I like living in the Alalay Home because I have great fun, because they make us study and because when we are on holidays we go traveling and go for walks.

The first thing we do at the Home is get up, then we have a shower, then we have our breakfast, then a snack and then we have our lunch.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE HOME IS THAT THEY MAKE ME STUDY, THEY PROVIDE ME WITH A PLACE TO SLEEP AND THEY GIVE ME FOOD EVERY DAY, BESIDES ,THEY DON’T MAKE ME WORK AND I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED. I LIVE HAPPILY WITH MY MATES AND EDUCATORS IN MY ALALAY HOME .

Note: none of the children’s expressions have been changed.

FRANKLIN’S CARNIVAL ADVENTURE I went to Huajchilla for Carnivals and I had a good time: the next day I run away from the Alalay Home to go to the Carnival parade and then I went back in the evening. Then, I run away again and went to Paso’s house, where they were challando (spilling a bit of alcohol on the floor in honour of mother Earth or Pachamama), then we played with water and they “baptized” us with flour, shoe polish and eggs. The “baptism” is what I liked the most about the Carnivals. Then, that night we danced with the girls from Obrajes and they asked me to be their boyfriend because I am very good looking, but I told them I still couldn’t grow a moustache and that they would have to wait for at least another year. Carnivals passed, and then I went back to the Alalay Home on Wednesday.
