Aldea Infantil: Challenges & rewards


June 23
Life at Aldea Infantil so far has brought its challenges and rewards, and this past week has been no exception. 
Each day we try to spend time with several of the younger kids, and I've really come to enjoy this part of the day. There's 7 of them from about age 4-5 and we have been helping them with homework, teaching manners, playing games and trying to just have fun and spend time with each of them. At first they were a handful as most kids are, and some days are more crazy than others but overall it's just a lot of fun to be around them. They definitely enjoy their time with us as well. 

They love our cameras, and in one instance as soon as I got my camera out three of them- Andrea, Renzo, and Jose Angel- made silly faces right away. They sure know how to take a good picture.

What a blessing to be here and to get to know these great young kids in Peru!
