Ben, Julie and Kirk came to volunteer with us during their spring break the first week in March. They helped with our last week of summer programs, including helping with tutoring groups, our kinder class, reading programs and Amigos de Net. Kirk and Ben helped paint our laundry room and offices and Julie filled in as a madre tutora for 2 nights. They also brought new shoes, school supplies, craft supplies and other materials for the kids. All 3 volunteers had been in contact with some of our children through our Amigos de Net program and it was fun to see them finally meet each other.It was a crazy week at the albergue, as I was sick the first two days and then Joel and I went to Lima and everyone else was preparing for the first week of school. I was impressed with their willingness to jump in and do whatever was asked of them. They worked with enthusiasm and a wonderful attitude. I am reminded that there are young people all over with a passion to serve others and give of their time and money to do so. Everyone misses Tio Ben, Tia Julie and Tio Kirk!
