I really enjoyed the visit this week from the Humphries family. They are humble and very caring people. They don't even speak Spanish and they donated their time, a couple of cows, their money (to come to Peru) and their family (a couple of their sons are serving here in Peru at different sites). They didn't care so much to see the cows they donated as to see and spend time with the children and to take their pictures to cherish those memories for years. But, the most touching was when Mr. Humphries was asked to give some words at a meeting with the children and some of the tias that work their. He cried as he said that as he looked into the eyes of the children he could see the goodness and light in them.
I am sure that some of these children feel a loss, not having the traditional nuclear family, but they do still have that light in them. I hope that after this internship I will see them again, just as Mr. Humphries wished.
