We continued walking up hill to visit some more children, and just as we were getting ready to walk up Ismael came along having heard I was there ... and so did Marline and Nélida.

Nélida and I (left) holding the new dress I bought for her on behalf of her "godmother" Catarina.
We stopped by Katiza and Veronica's to hand out the presents I bought for them, the one of Veronica on behalf of her "godmother" Dora.

We went straight up to Nate's, as we found out neither little Aniza nor her grandmother were at home, so we handed those presents to Marline, who happens to be Aniza's cousin.
At Nate's patio.

Ângela holding the paint materials and plaster sculptures to be painted I have bought for her and her sister, once they have been selling some of them (left). Ângela wearing one of the blouse Celeste sent for the siblings (right).
On the way downhill we were confronted with a rather aggressive grandfather holding a tree branch with thorns, with which he intended to punish a little girl who had followed us without telling him where she was heading. The situation was soon resolved as I stepped in front of the child and apologetically asked his pardon on her behalf ... a situation which impressed us all, though we realised he was fairly drunk.
On our way down we saw Elias for whom I had left some presents sent by his "godmother" Gabriela at Nate's, though we were told by his mother he would be coming to the Pension the following day in the afternoon.
Elias dressed in blue and holding a football.
Upon having reached the Pension we realised there were a few boys waiting for me and naturally the presents, which were mostly games I had bought for them.
