Getting Things Done in Peru!!

We received an email from Ms. Cronin and Ms. Ryan about the Winterim group in Peru!  They sent some photos as well. Check out the slideshow of their photos below or go the their Picasa Photo Album to have a closer look at all of them.

Hello!

Project Peru students just spent the last three days in the small community of Arin. While they were there they built new, clean stoves for six families. They did amazing work with incredible attitudes. 

The project consisted of them making adobe by stomping (with bare feet) clay, guinea pig hair, straw, water, and cactus juice. After that was mixed they put together the stove with blocks similar to bricks and adobe. The finished project was amazing and the families could not have been more grateful. 

When they were not working- our students played with the kids in the community and practiced their Spanish. It was adorable how quickly our students and the community children got attached. It was sad to say good-bye today but we left with new friends and six very happy families. 

Tomorrow [Sunday] we will be whitewater rafting and on Monday we head to a Pre-school for more service work.
