We visited the Miguel Magone orphanage today with ORI's current work team, the youth group from Hammercreek Mennonite Church. Miguel Magone is home to approximately 60 boys and is located near the town of San Lucas.
First, we unloaded the home's monthly food delivery from the back of the ORI bus.
This home is built on a steep hill, so there are several play areas on different levels.
Tony enjoyed the play equipment.
Alisha found a friend, a little girl named Daniela. Although only two girls live at the home, there were several girls from the nearby village at Miguel today. Poor children from the village come to the orphanage on Saturdays for a hot lunch.
We handed out coloring books and crayons, which the kids enjoyed.
Charlie brought along a rope for tug-of-war, Gringos against Guatemalans. The Americans won! Finally, a sport where the gringos can triumph. I've yet to see the Guatemalans defeated in soccer.
ORI bought lunch for everybody - 140 people! That was a lot of pizza! We also provided soda and cookies. What a special treat for the kids.
