fiesta in celebration of the "International Childrens Day".
When

September 2002
In an average day there is little joy in the life of a
child who lives in the open or who by reason of extreme poverty is forced
by an abandoned mother to forego his or her education and work until late
at night on the city's dangerous streets selling candy or shining shoes.
Most of them have both drugs and health problems, many are abused by adults.
We try to bring them together at least twice each month to have some fun.

since our last party.

Transitions
A
brother and sister in our shelter have been reunited with their natural
father. For months we worked for this end and now we are delighted at
the happy ending. The case of Rosita, however, is not yet
so sunny. You may remember that earlier in the year we got her three year
old sister into the ShelterHogar
de Esperanza.(see
Ruth Carolina's story).Originally we tried to get Rosita,
her brother and sister into this fine hogar, but it is difficult in Peru
to persuade private orphanages to accept children above the easy-to-adopt
age. We have finally found a very nice institution, Nuevos Pasos, who
will take Rosita; but her abusive parents refuse to lose the income Rosita
makes for them. We will have to go back to court. Soon we hope to accept
Jorge ourselves.
