visit from Bremen

visit from Bremen at the orphanage

Shortly before my departure I learned that two friends from Bremen five-month planned visit to South America. In an email I Lilith and Elena of my voluntary service in Peru have said and suggested that we meet but perhaps could if Lima stand on their itinerary. So it happened that last Friday I went to Lima to meet the two there. It was really funny because we actually only once or twice a year and now see in Lima clashed. We spent the weekend in Lima and then drove together to the Sunday evening children's village. I had already clarified in advance that the two could come for a few days with the village and look at times were what I was doing here Sun
When we arrived, there was a bit weird because the Kids were quite restrained. For instance, when the small Waldir came over and they both asked him what his name was, he looked at me with big questioning eyes, and did not know what to say for now, as if he were completely overwhelmed with the situation. Well ... After a short time, the initial shyness was over and the two could save before the game offers little. Together with some Kids we took a tour of the entire home until we went to Marie, when I first started to Lara that nine of volunteers who met the first few hours had come to the village. Lara is also 20 and has just completed her Abi made. She will stay until the end of January, so for 3 months at the orphanage with her and I get along very well.

The next morning after we Kids had taken to school and I started my classes that have two Bremer girls has it in the children's village life overthrown and Elena helped in the nursery and Lilith was very hard on in the kitchen slaving. In the afternoon the two with me and the older girls went to football training. The guys have left, unfortunately the previous weekend in Lima Kids , but that the girls are now in the final.

Tuesday was Lilith then sick in bed and suddenly I had a bad Conscience that they had probably eaten something wrong in the kitchen. Elena morning was back in kindergarten and in the afternoon we went to Tambo , the center of Cieneguilla to the sick Lilith a little bit and go get food. In the evening I took my leave of the two and then we agreed to meet next weekend in Lima. I have not seen the pair that is more because I had to get out on Wednesday morning, quite early because we wanted to go to Lima .... I'll tell you, but in the next report.

funeral in the village

A sad day in the village

The last Thursday was a black day in the history of the orphanage. As we did every day by 15 clock gathered to discuss a few things and then start with the "Actividades" told us Tio Hibo with a heavy heart that the "abuelita," the children's village grandma (Helma Schrader), died was. She is the mother of Manager Ms. Schrader Woyke and has then taken the initiative to build the orphanage. Some of the older children know them for many years and even many Tios and employees know it already from an early age. For all this news was a shock, since probably all came relatively suddenly and unexpectedly. I myself am on Friday with her previously, Tia and her husband, Liz (Mrs Woyke) traveled to Lima and all was still good. Accordingly, of course, is also currently the mood in the village and they are all pretty sad.

After Tio Hibo announced this sad news we sat together with the Tios and sought a group with some of the older kids, which we then drove directly to the funeral in a small chapel in Lima. For the three of us volunteers, it was a bit uncomfortable between all members relatives and friends of the family. But of course it was natural for us that we came along when the Tios asked us, with such a large group of children from Lima to drive. Only in the evening at 24h we came back to the village.

The next morning we again chose a group of children with whom we traveled in the morning at the funeral. There, we met on a number of former children's village children who wanted to say goodbye to her "abuelita". When we got back to late afternoon, we once again discussed and talked about the plans of the village children birthday. The birthday will turn out well, because of course no one is currently in the mood to celebrate. City meantime, we will hold a prayer service for the "abuelita".

I personally very great respect for Helma. If you can see, what is created here, how many children has given them through the cooperation of the Westaflia children's village already has a perspective on how many children have in the future the opportunity to live a decent life, which alone would have here in Peru, little chance and how many people she has helped children around the village around, then they can really look back with pride on their lives.
