She has done it again! The lady champion of fundraising has hit the Montenegro Parish Bingo with style.
The first task was to purchase one hundred and eight plastic containers from China Town in Lima and then proceed to fill them with an assortment of goodies to form the basis of a newly invented game for the young children called - ¡Sorpresa! ¡Sorpresa! ¡Sorpresa! – Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!
Each container was numbered and wrapped in coloured paper so that nobody could see the contents. They were divided in two categories – boys and girls. On paying S/- 1.00 you pick a pop stick with a number on top and then collect the corresponding container – great fun. The reality is that each container ended up costing far more than the ticket price! That may be another reason why it is called ¡Sorpresa! ¡Sorpresa! ¡Sorpresa!
The goodies are almost ready to transport to the bingo site.
Marion, Alfredo and David setting up our little corner. Our only worry was getting the bookcase from home: carrying it down the locals thought that we looked like a pair of undertakers going to the church!
Marion makes an early sale.
Luke does the rest. Only about a hundred containers to go! However, why did I ever doubt, they all went.
