My first one!

Hola!!
I realise I should hve started this when I first began my adventure here in Peru, but better late than never! My life here is still unfolding. I have just finished my time at the Spanish school here in Cusco, so on Monday, life as a volunteer will really start for real.

So far I´ve spent the afternoons at Hogar Amantani, a home for abandoned children, so I´ve got to know a some fo the children well, but now I´m looking forward to working with even more of them. Whatever their age they are all so happy and caring children. Sometimes (actually often) I think how much Western children could learn from them! Although they all have a sad or traumatic background, they hardly show it and are definitely appreciating the work that Pilar, Oscar and Maria have given them with the home.

That´s all for now, stories of life in Peru will follow...
