Still don't have any internet at the orphanage so I'm currently smooching off the wireless of a hotel here in town.
Not really too much has happened since the last time I posted the pictures. We had an inspection from MIMDES yesterday and that went terrible. Well at least the meeting between Avis and the inspector went terrible that I got roped into translating for, I should've hid better.
Last couple of days I have had a really bad stomach ache, it's much better now. But yesterday morning was really bad, I woke up with debilitating stomach and a little kid poking me to tell me that another little kid had pooped all over the floor in his room and smeared it on the wall. Remember this was the same day as the mimdes inspection so yesterday was pretty terrible.
Also, I can now tell everyone that I have officially accepted the other position in Trujillo to work at another orphanage. The orphanage is Hogar de Esperanza (home of hope). The web page is www.perukids.com
and the US side organization that helps support it is http://corazondeesperanza.org/ so check those links out if your interested. I will move there the 24th of February and they promised me internet access so hopefully more and better blog updates.

Glad to hear you made a decision. I would love to hear more details around how you came to that decision. I looked at the website...looks like a cool place with better structure/support.

ohhh man, that does sound like a bad day, sooo sorry! What position will you have at this new place? I checked out the site and it looks fantastic. I'm sure you'll learn a lot and be extremely helpful here too!
Sorry the meeting with MIMDES went so horribly. And that you are having stomach problems. That is no bueno, for sure. My prayers are with you and the kids at the orphanage.
This is exciting for your new journey! I am glad you are able to have some time with the kids before you leave but I am excited for your next adventure :)
That was a rough day! I feel ya when it comes to cleaning up poop! The two websites looked amazing for the new place. We're thinking about you every time we open the fridge! Bella's also got your picture in her room.
