February is a month for enrolling the children in school, and also, we had enough sponsors to send twenty children to a week of camp. We are going to start a program for the challenged learners at the orphanage. We will have five children in that program with a Peruvian teacher. Also, we will have children in the public as well as a private school. In all, we have 5 different places we take children to learn.

This month we had a number of children enter the orphanage and are now up to 45 children. We have a crash program of painting the casitas and decorating them with curtains and furniture. The children are now enjoying summer break with activities on the beach and playing on the playground equipment.

We are planning to have another eye clinic in March. This time we are having people 55 and older to the clinic so we can identify more people for cataracts. We would like to identify about 300 people for this disease so that we can bring in a team of eye surgeons for one week to do the procedures.

We are having a lot of people give clothing and money for the children in the orphanage. And believe me, that support really helps meet the cost of running the home. On March 15th, we take a group of supporters to Trujillo, Peru packing about 300 pounds of clothing, computers and televisions. Those 5 foot army duffle bags can take a lot. Muchas gracias for all the support.
