A hodge podge of pictures





In the first picture you'll get an idea of how organization is kept with fifty plus children. And another one of Ann with the baby, And the last two, it was amazing how the older children helped so much with the younger children. It was an amazing place to visit and experience.

And our group was blessed to able leave behind a bounty of medications and supplies. Keep in mind all these children have medical problems. From many different physical deformities to drug resistant TB. Regardless of the problem, Dr. Tony took them in.

Around the house






And it was dinner time



When we arrived. I never did meet the cook. Why, what fun it must be to cook for FIFTY TWO children!!! I can't imagine. And yes, there were fifty two children there when we stopped for our visit.

Everyone interacting with the children




I believe that is Victor that is with Karleen (at the top). He eats just fine with his feet and doesn't believe there's a thing wrong with him. He's mentioned in the article in my last post. Also, look at Todd and Toddy with the baby girl. And Ann with that darling toddler. She freaked out when we went in their room. All of us strangers coming into her comfort zone.

Dr. Tony Lazzara's orphanage




Like I mentioned before, Dr. Tony has done phenomenal work in Peru with the sick children. He's dedicated his life to these children regardless of all the obstacles that he has met. Here is a link of an article telling all about him.

The end results of the market




We handed out 20 bags of food to the poorest of the poor. What a bounty it was for them. Two different kinds of beans, rice, pasta, milk, sugar, oil, and what we take for granted in the states, but is a luxury for the people in Peru, toilet paper.

It was Christmas in October.

A DON'T get caught enscribe graffiti


Right to the left of this wall/sign is the hall for the bathrooms. Even if you don't know Spanish you can/should understand what this sign is saying. Yeah, that's right. You get arrested and go to jail if caught.

After clowning around ...

You'll find the anatomy of a chicken. And it's a real chicken. Who ever knew what the inside looked like???



Yummy market shopping





Don't forget to blow up the last picture so you can see the details. YUMMY FRESH CAUGHT FISH!!!
