Soccer Field

 

A couple years ago we played soccer with the kids at the orphanage on an uneven, dusty field.  Today, thanks to the generosity of one of the other Canadian teams that visits annually, this is a look at the soccer field.  The players are very proud of the new field and work hard to keep it watered and in good condition.  Many of the children are huge soccer fans and enjoy playing the game. 

New Soccer Shirts

 

We purchased new soccer shirts for the NPH Peru teams to share.  Here are a few of the boys showing us how they look with the new shirts.

Along the way I posted a few pictures of people adding a hand print to a project.  Here is the finished project.  The project began in Canada where people started adding a decorated hand print.  This activity raised money which was donated to the orphanage.  In Peru the children, Peru Crew, and people who worked at the orphanage all added a hand print.  The middle of the wall hanging was done by a young woman at the orphanage.  The wall hanging will be displayed in the new dining hall.

Home

We are home from our 2014 Peru Crew adventure.  It was again a wonderful experience.  We left Lima around 3:00 am Tuesday morning and arrived in Toronto around 11:00 am.  We are all tired but know we have shared a very special experience.  I met many new friends along the way and had a wonderful opportunity to visit many interesting places.  As I review my pictures I will share a few more before I sign off on this year's blog.

At the top

We stopped for a while here at the highest point of our journey...just over 4900 meters above sea level.

Waiting for the condors

We were able to see a few condors...they are hard to photograph but I got one or two.
