This weekend I got to spend a lot of time with the kids outside of the home. On Saturday I got to go with the little boys and older girls to a sports complex just outside of our community of Pachacutec. There our kids got to play soccer and volleyball against other kids from other children's homes in the city. Our little boys played soccer and man were they cute. It was basically David v. Goliath though. These other kids were so big. However, our kids totally dominated in over time! Our mixed volleyball team also won, but our all girls volleyball team sorta got crushed.
Being at this event really opened up my eyes on the amount of children in Peru who live in homes. Just at this one event for this one part of the city there were hundreds and hundreds of kids. In a city of 1,000,000 people the percent of street kids and dislocated kids is somewhere around 40%. Peru, Arequipa, Pachacutec, and New Hope need our prayers and support in efforts to lower this percentage. If you are interested in supporting a child or learning more about New Hope please visit www.peruhope.org. Or you can contact me through e-mail and I would be happy to give you any information you need at amsemore@gmail.com
Love Much! Love Often!
