Our First Project: San José de Moro

We began in San José de Moro (in Chepén) improving its infrastructure. The inauguration took place on July 7th, 2006. The party the threw for us is hard to forget. The almost 300 children seated around the patio in order to witness the festival of singing and dancing that had been prepared for us, wanted to demonstrate their appreciation, enthusiasm, and surprise at having water, bathrooms, and balls to play with. They danced, they sang, and the kids expressed themselves in the unique manner that they know how to, with happiness and spontaneity. We became emotional. Later would come other writings or drawings, with phrases like "I hope that in the future you continue protecting us so we can develope" (Carmen Rosa) "I appreciate what you have done for us and for the professors" (Nancy Aracely). "Thanks for bringing us many gifts. We hope that you return soon. See you soon" (Nilson). The drawings expressed how they felt very well and our aid had not been misplaced. Later the mothers of the family made us food to share with them. It was a memorable day.
