In November, Peru celebrated the the national holiday, “Day of the Child.” A group of Peruvian and American volunteers put on a wonderful show and party at the orphanage for our 45 children. They played games, sang songs and had a guest appearance from Barney. Hogar de Esperanza was blessed to celebrate the life of each child who has found hope through their doors.

In the United States we celebrated Thanksgiving and continue to remember all of the staff and volunteers who work so hard to continue programs at the orphanage, play with the children and sacrifice their own wants to spend time bringing joy to the lives of the children. We are truly thankful for each person who has spent time in Peru giving themselves to this ministry. The Spanish term used by Peruvians for Thanksgiving is “Accion de Gracias” (Action of Giving Thanks.) I really like their expression because it clearly explains what Thanksgiving is all about.

As we continue our work this holiday season and the days get closer to Christmas, many people have asked, “What are the needs at the orphanage?” Our biggest need is to provide shelter, food, clothing and education to these children, who would otherwise be on the streets. The work at the orphanage continues to grow and the needs increase day by day. And so, our need is to have people, like you, who have a heart for this ministry, partner with us by giving monthly to meet the needs of the children of Peru. I urge you to please pray and consider partnering with us and joining our monthly giving program. Send me an email if you would like more information and/or you may send checks to:

Thank you for your continued support and I pray you and your family are blessed this holiday season.
