FLY Volunteers

We were given early Christmas presents this year... 3 of our youth came back to the albergue to serve over Christmas break. They brought with them an array of comfort items from the folks back home (Thank you Theresa, Brady, Dixie, Charlie, Daryl, Lydia and Edith... WE LOVE YOU!) And, I'd have to say that seeing our youth has been the biggest present we have received!

All three youth, (Scott, Jillian and Tania), are in their senior year of high school. They are so passionate about serving these kids, they worked hard to save up their money to come serve over Christmas break. They gave up the 'normal' things teens want for Christmas, in exchange for touching the hearts and lives of the orphans of Peru. They've spent their first week painting, organizing our storage closets, playing soccer, running the sand dunes and loving on these great kids!
