The Orphanage

We have loved volunteering at the orphanage here in Cajamarca. This week Stephen was put to work on a construction project. A non-profit organization from the United States raised money to build a fun center for the kids. Stephen helped out with the construction this week and so did many of the kids! The boys at the orphanage thought it was fun and exciting to participate in the construction of the new building.

The orphanage is also about to open up a library. For the past few weeks I have been helping to cover donated books in plastic to protect them. The inauguration for the library will take place this upcoming Monday.

In addition to the various projects we have been working on, we have also enjoyed playing with the kids. The teenage boys love playing soccer and basketball with Stephen. The younger kids love playing tag and playing on the playground.
