The Faces I Can Never Get Tired Of!!

So I have been in Lima now for about 2 months, which is proof for me that time does fly fast! I have gotten into a bit of a schedule, preparing for a series of health talks I will be giving in several churches, and working at the Diaconal Project in Huaycan, a shantytown area outside of Lima.

Here in Peru, it is normal to greet women with kisses on the cheek, and men handshakes. Everyday we arrive to the project and are overwhelmed by shouts of excitment and right after those, the many sweet kisses from the children in the project.

Here are my sweeties!




This last week I got to visit the parents/families of these kids. I was glad for the opportunity to go into the homes and learn more about how these kids live. These kids are in the project for different reasons each, but mostly for their economical needs. It was a humbling time--yet to hear stories from the families, their struggles, and also their faith--it was an encouraging time as well. As time goes on, I am hoping to add a blog for each child, so that you as well can get to know these precious children!
