The children went back to school this month! The directors, social worker, madre tutoras and volunteers spent quite a bit of time organizing new uniforms and school supplies for 39 kids and were blessed to receive generous donations from volunteers, visitors and local Peruvians. We are excited to announce that this year our primary grade children are attending a new christian, private school (Colegio Betania) that is closer to the albergue - less than 5 miles away in Salaverry and our 4 high schoolers have the honor of attending Colegio Elliott, which was founded by missionary Bert Elliott (brother of Jim Elliott.) On campus in Escuela de Miller, Miss Alcira continues to teach 9 of our children who have a variety of learning disabilities and our on campus kinder program has 7 children learning their colors, shapes and simple English with one of our long-term volunteers, Amy.
