Hey everyone, I know that it has been far too long since the last post. A lot has been going on around here but it all just seems so normal to me now that I have trouble getting motivated to post about it. One of the more noteworthy things I've done in the last couple weeks was take a trip to Lima to talk with the lady who is in charge of the orphanage regulation in Peru. We have an inspection coming up soon so we decided that it was a good idea if Maribel and I went to get an overview of all the things that we need to improve or change in order to pass the inspection. The things we need to change aren't really serious, but it's a lot of small stuff. For example we need to get covered cabinets in the kitchen, touch up paint and decorate some houses, enclose one of the water pumps and other misc. jobs like that. I think that the new English teacher, Steve, and I are going to start working of that stuff next week. To decorate the houses we are going to use a projector to put pictures on the wall then paint them in, imagine big stencil. Other projects that Steve and I are planning are switching out some light fixtures and enclosing the pump.
Here is a picture of Yhonson after his team won the championship in a soccer league he was in. He did really well playing goalie and had a blast. Their team won the 200 sole prize and split that between 10 of them.
Last week we threw a surprise birthday party for one of the house moms Gina. She is the one directly to the left of me. We had the other house moms there, Maribel, Gladys and another friend Rosa (far left) who has been doing a lot in the community to help the orphanage. We had the party at Maribel's house and had about 8 kids come as well. It was a lot of fun and she was really surprised. You can also observe from this picture that my hair is just getting out of control.
