The local public school is at the first bend in the road, behind the trees on the right. The school age kids came to the service. Guatemalan public schools have uniforms and the green sweaters are part of the uniform for this school.
The kids tended to be wary. They probably don't get that many visitors, and probably fewer from far away. And we had heard, at least, that parents here might use white people as the boogey man. Some of our group had immigrated to the U.S. and said in their old country they had been told as kids that the pirates might get them if they didn't watch out.
Whatever the source of the kids' wariness, it was overcome by their desire to be photographed.
