Big plans are being put into action right now, not just for Westfalia Orphanage, but for Express Connect and schools in the nearby areas. We have ideas to brighten children's lives at the Orphanage, and Express Connect is working on expanding their campaign! In March I will be joining them again to help with their Raise Awareness Campaign.
I am excited to announce that Project #2 is off the ground! We will be hosting a bake sell to buy school supplies for the Children living at Westfalia Orphanage. It will be held next Saturday at a park near Nicole's house. We will also be selling Peruvian souvenirs handcrafted by the kids. The money made from these sells will go directly to the Orphanage to use for food, water, school uniforms, shoes, and other necessities.

Girls ages eight and up make these colorful bracelets to sell.
Girls and boys learn how to sew by making these colorful wall hangings. Each one is as unique as the child who made it. This one shows Westfalia Orphanage, located in Cienguilla.
These adorable bookmarks are made to look like native Peruvian people.
The hats are made of the wool that the kids ages seven to ten spin.
Project #1 Update
At the beginning of my adventure, when I learned I would be moving to Peru, I organized a project to make school kits at girls camp. Unfortunately, we moved before girls camp and did not have the opportunity to bring them with us. We have not found a way to get these school kits here, but will bring them back with us after summer.
