On 5 October 2005 - We
will open a new programme to educate the poorest children in Cajamarca.
When we left our original project in the hands of ex volunteers it
was with the understanding that they would carry on this work;however
they chose to operate a homework |
club for children we had already goten into school over a year ago.
So we have returned. Above is our new, larger centre. |
|
A team of US Dental volunteers arrived to give a one day clinic to
all our children in Cajamarca. By the time this picture was taken
they had treated nearly 100. |
