LOVE FOR PERU

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" Psalm 33:12a
.
July is a month of celebration, as us here in Peru remember and celebrate our 188th anniversary of independence. This moment of celebration also provides us with a moment of reflection and thought, to consider what we have accomplished and to start the work that is still undone. By becoming an active helper/supporter of Kushis Winaykan we all have a great opportunity to teach our children the importance of love, appreciation, and the ability to know the home where God has granted us to live and how each of us can make a difference!
.
The children come to us and fill us with hugs and kisses. In honour of the month of Independence the lesson focus on the history and regions in Peru. The children anxiously learn and are captivated by the experience. This week we will learn about the coastal region of Peru, which stretches from north to south of our territory stuck Pacific Ocean, it's time to colorize, see many figures of animals and foods of this region, play and let your imagination!.

Carolina, one of the teachers and has a very contagious laughter, works primarily with the smallest of the children. She tends to the need of each of the youngster with great patience, helps them do their craft, and later leads everyone out to play. Raquel teaches with great dedication and charisma to the larger group, children from 6 to 8 years. She challenges the children to discover the names of animals, food and everything that can be found in Peru.
.
Bilha, teaches the adolescents and teenagers, definitely the most difficult age group to work with, however, she knows very well how to motivate and encourage team work. Despite the poor conditions of the courtyard where the class takes no time is lost as both the students and teachers desire to learn and share about Peru. Throughout the classes it is evident there is a truth and living faith in God and an understanding that whatever the obstacles things will work out for those who work hard and trust in God.

Sheyla has been cooking for hours over the wood stove to prepare a delicious lunch the over 100 children who attend the Saturday classes. The children enjoy their cup of milk and bread with eggs. Unfortunately for most of them this is the best food they will receive during the week and not slow to finish, and the fruit has also been shared.

..

While I dismissed each of the children and adolescents, I think of all the dreams that each has in their hearts, I think of all the difficult circumstances they face inside and outside the home, I think of the need for this work we started Kushis Winaykan over a year and a half ago in el cerrito Leoncio Prado in Huanuco. I know that with God’s help we will not stop, but we will continue to follow His Call and work to help all people, because it is possible for both Peru and the entire world to improve.
