November 20th is the day that commemorates the Mexican Revolution. The Revolution is different from the war of Independence from Spain. "The Mexican Revolution was a major armed struggle that started in 1910 with an uprising led by Francisco I. Madero against longtime autocrat Porfirio Diaz" (wikipedia.com). The Mexican Revolution is remembered throughout Mexico through many school programs, pageants and parades.
The kids here at the Casa Hogar in Oaxaca are no different. The kindergarden, primary and middle school all had programs going on. Ricardo and I were able to go to the primary school program which was mostly dancing. The kids danced traditional Mexican and Latin American dances. It was so much fun to see them all dressed up and dancing about. Here are a few pictures:
