Roberto, Erlan, Samuel, and ElianMaking sticker Projects at Villa Israel
Hola todos mis amigos! I’m here in Coch and already absolutely love it. This first week was a whirlwind of travel. There was a team here from NH and we did so many things including:
1. Sipi Sipi – outskirt village of Coch for a bread run to the kids, see Incan ruins
2. Coffee Roaster – Juan, a friend of the Timmers, has a coffee roaster for local sales, similar to that for the States
3. Chapari – jungle site of a few orphanages in progress, visit and bring mattresses, visit monkey park
I’ve been getting into the intern routine with Jen and Craig. Each week, we visit two orphanages, Frutillar and Villa Israel. We do homework, go to the playground, get afternoon snack, read Bible stories, play games, and color. We also go to the center to help tutor and play with neighborhood kids. God’s work is amazing and I’m blessed to be chosen in this setting, with these people. I absolutely love the kids and have been trying my hardest to savor every moment with each of them. I’m also enjoying simply living here—shopping in the market, going for runs, riding the buses, and cooking with roommates are just a few of the day to day events. I look forward to playing and attending soccer games, hiking a few mountains, and trying out new restaurants. I have a few firsts as well:
1. Riding atop the trufi up the mountain to the Incan ruins
2. Riding a moto (motorcycle) with Patto and Craig
