We visited a new orphanage yesterday with the work team.
La Senda has very nice facilities. This building includes team housing, living quarters for the director's family, and a few school rooms.
This is the school. Only 19 children live in the home, but 125 children from the surrounding area attend the school. Notice the "dust bowl" play area. Tony and Maria got coated in dirt. I'm glad I don't live here!
Charlie took along the jump rope, which is always a hit.
We handed out hygiene bundles and school kits. As always, the children were delighted with their gifts. The children are so grateful for so little, so happy with toothpaste and shampoo. We also treated the children to Dominos pizza for supper. It arrived on the back of a delivery motorcycle, which is what all restaurants use for carry-out down here - easier to maneuver through traffic.
Fifteen-year-old Dorcas befriended Maria. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that all the children in this home speak English, most fluently. It was nice to be able to really communicate!
