Charlie supervised the group as they worked at the Fundaninos orphanage. Some of the men worked on a sewer problem. Charlie said it was dirty and disgusting work, but hopefully it corrected the problem.
Several of the men spent the week finish framing an apartment for the director's family. Charlie did some electrical work.
Part of the group worked at the ORI warehouse one day, preparing hygiene bundles that were later distributed to children in two different orphanages. Ben enjoyed operating the fork lift.

Our faithful bus driver! Charlie spent many hours driving the bus to transport the volunteers.
On Saturday the team visited two orphanages. One of homes we visited was Casa Shalom. I am cuddling 15-day-old Mynor. He was found in a ditch by some firemen. It appeared that his mother had given birth and then left him by the side of the road.
This little girl and Tony had fun playing with this red car. This two-year-old had been sexually abused before coming to Casa Shalom and is still very leery of men.
The guys enjoyed playing soccer (futbol) with the older boys from the home. Despite a valiant effort, the "gringos" lost 6 - 0. The Chapinos were just too good!
We took the children from the Nuevo Reto orphanage to Burger King for lunch. The kids enjoyed their burgers, fries, and ice cream and had lots of fun on the playland. What a special treat for them!
The King?
