Blog: Update

25th July 2010, Friday



It has been an extremely busy week for me and the Casa Hogar del Sol
team. The Loki volunteers have now increased their visits to twice a
week (Tuesday and Thursday) to help us to move the bricks to Cuylandia
as quickly as possible. We have worked hard to move more than 1100
bricks this week to the new land and the wall is gradually going up.

This week Loki have donated sugar and rice to one of our partner
schools in Pachar and a further 250 soles towards the truck hire. A
big thank you once again to everyone at Loki for their continued
support.
The children at Paucarbamba enjoyed their first English class on
Thursday with me. They each received an exercise book and wrote down
their names and the teachers name together with the word English and
they remembered the numbers and the way to say “What is your name?”
which was taught to them last week. They loved playing word games
outside with their new ball and were sad when the class had to end.

Paul and I took Lourdes to Cusco for her first trip to look for ways
of improving her life, including possibilities for wheel chairs, work
and education opportunities and a possible new home.
We have been to visit the directors of schools in Pachar, Chilca,
Patacancha, Phiry and Ollantaytambo who have all signed contracts to
confirm that we can use their schools as locations for the upcoming
dental campaign. Watch this space!
