Saturday- Charles Treat - What a day... This has truly been an awesome experience. I have the privledge of working with some of the finest youth I've ever encountered(even the ones who came to Peru with me-just kidding); they have worked hard and served the Lord diligently. We spent the morning at the Aldea, an orphanage in Cajamarca, coloring, playing ball, and spending time with the children. Despite their circumstances, the children were remarkably happy and were as much of a blessing to us as we could have been to them. The rest of the day was spent with the medical team. New challenges awaited us as we found areas to contribute throughout the clinic. many of the youth began by entertaining the children of those who came for treatment, but some took on various hands-on roles: helping the dentists, fitting and distributing glasses, and working in the pharmacy. I'm not an overly emotional; however, I shed a few tears today as i observed the needs of the people being met by a young generation that many in this world have lost faith in. Praise the Lord for all he has done!
