Day 6: Tuesday

We got up a bit earlier to make a stop at Wawawasi, a day care in a very, very poor part of Ventanilla.  The mom's pay $1/day to leave their kids in the care of these sweet ladies so that they can go work.  We startled them as a few kids started crying as the gringos showed up lol.  We quickly got the Play-Doh out and they were eager to play with us.  We brought 2 suitcases full of donations of baby clothes, shoes, wipes, toys, blankets, etc....  We didn't stay too long as it was lunch time, so we said our good-byes and off we went.
Another great day of games up in Las Lomas.  We started with dancing, musical chairs, relay games, and ended with beach-ball volleyball as well as regular ball volleyball as well as some soccer.  Lots of laughs & smiles from the Gringos as well as the Peruvians.
No evening activities for us, but we came back to the apartment as got to work to prep for Thursday's activities.  We are going to make tie fleece blankets with the kids, so we need to cut the fleece.  So, for the next 5+ hours, we cut and we cut and we cut....tired fingers in Santa's workshop.  But it will all be worth it to get a blanket to a kid!!!
