The Pull

6/10/2018

 
     What is this pull that Peru has on me? I step off the plane and I want to go back.

     Our trip was amazing. We have so many stories to tell.

     Here are just a few things that happened. I’ll write more about them in coming weeks.

      Amigos de San Manuelito, our nonprofit organization, has our first board member in Peru.

      We met a girl whom we thought needed a wheelchair – and we ended up buying her a bike.

      Even though we had promised ourselves we wouldn’t, we added a new school. It started with an ice cream cone.

      And we visited a 12-year-old girl, our friend since she was five, who lives in severe poverty, in a one-room home with her grandmother.  I told her, “I want to buy you a present. What would you like?” She was quiet for a minute, then answered, “Nothing. I have everything.” We bought her new shoes.

      Every time I close my eyes, I see the children’s faces.
