Another Saturday afternoon in Humano Leoncio Prado and we are welcomed back by a procession of happy children to the small adobe house where the classes take place. The volunteer teachers wait for their happy children in order to share another time of games, songs, lessons, and a delicious lunch prepared with a lot of love.Definitely this a a new time for the entire Kushis Winaykan team as we reunite again in Huanuco and this time we are joined by Renán Orozco. Renán decided a few months back to come and joined the team of Kushis to bring smiles and the message of love to all the children of Leoncio Prado. Below is what Renán wrote in describing his time helping out with the kids.
"I saw boys and girls happy and playing in the middle of a difficult time, but also I could know mostly cruel backgrounds, experiences that same cannot count and that alone is aforesaid in a face of lacking fearful look of smile. Also I saw the effort of a tireless team (Kushis Winaykan) continuing to struggle and share their time and forces without waiting for things to change but working for that change.
Upon thinking about the team and the children of Leoncio Prado, I recalled of a biblical history that tells about four friends that carried a paralytic to Jesus. In spite of the fact that the house where Jesus taught was full of people and the paralytic could not enter, those 4 men did not quit, they opened the ceiling, with cords and descended the paralytic and Jesus healed and forgave the man of his sins. (Mark 2:1-12).
If your were there, what would you have done? Would you be on the sideline with arm crossed and just looking at what happens or would be part of the group of people that with the hope of carrying the paralytic to Jesus?
It is impossible to try to deny the comfortable thing and remain behind a desk, looking at computer screen and ignore the reality that affects a lot of children in Peru and everyone, but is of brave to say: "My God, here am I, and I am yours, your are my force and everything that I have."
What will you do?
Really my visit to Huanuco was time in which God showed me his love and gave new mission to my life.
