SPECIAL EDITION: Kids' Christmas Party Update!

Hello all. As many of you might remember, I am part of a group that takes a Christmas Party with a show and candy and cake and books and gifts and smiles to poor kids in Peru every year. A lot of my friends have been generous enough over the years to send some money and love towards these kids. Here's a couple of pictures of happy kids from last year, and you can read about it here if you want.

 

 

 

Here's your update... the people who organized this years' party run something called "Vaso de Leche." Basically, it is a food bank for their neighborhood, and they feed people year-round, and have a party at Christmas.

After everything was paid for, there was about US$230 left of the donations. I gave it to them and told them to do whatever they thought was best with the money. They indicated that they would probably put it towards repairing their building.

And repairs it needed. This one-room building had the Drywall rotting in many places (if there even was Drywall), no floor, and the tin roof had gaping holes in it.

 

 

 

Well, things are looking up. The tin roof has been completely re-done, and they have stripped away and replaced some of the drywall. They have made fantastic progress.

 

 

These photos were just sent to me today.

I wanted to share this with everyone, so you can see the positive results of your donations.

Once again, on behalf of the kids who have benefited from your generosity, I wanted to again say, GRACIAS.

Have a great day! 🙌
