Firday, August 28, 2009:
Breakfast was a real hit today - bacon and eggs, very much like at home.
Today was a very productive day on the project. We finished off the walls for the chicken coop, constructed several of the nesting platforms for the chickens, leveled the floor and finished the fence. Tomorrow, the scout group from Cusco will be coming to work with us to finish the project.
Two more home visits today - kids heard about spousal abuse, illness, alcoholism, poor food, bad sanitation and large families living in small spacess. We had a good chat about this around the dinner table tonight.
The group concluded that perhaps we should do some ongoing fundraising for Peru´s Challenge to help deal with these matters. We will discuss this further at our first Venturer meeting this fall.
Several of the kids had upset stomachs and other gastro-intestinal problems today. The worst of the trip so far, though they seem to recover within 24 hours given Gravol, antibiotics and Tylenol.
Final soccer game against the locals today and we tied 1-1.
