Day 7: Wednesday: DayCare, Camp & Soccer

We left a bit early today and headed up to Ventanilla, but instead of heading up the Hill to Las Lomas, we went to visit another community, Pachacutec and a day care in Wawawasi.  It's a community mainly made up of people from the mountains, hard working, humble people.  There s a day care we try to visit with donations as they have no Voices4Peru to support them.  We stayed about 15 min as it was lunch time, and brought some simple toys and clothes for them.
Day 3 brought the kids a hike up to the top of the antenna and the hills of Las Lomas.  With some great Peruvians guides, off for an hour long hike they went.  Kate stayed behind and helped me sort clothes.  After they returned, we got going on games, dancing, and fun.  We played Sharks & Minnows - huge fan favorite, but they all cheat and cry, so i'm not real sure why they want to play it so much lol.  We did a relay game with a very small spoon and a fuseball.  Our big final game was volleyball with a beach ball.
After another delicious dinner, we headed to our last soccer practice only to find the electricity to that block was out, so they were playing in the semi-dark. lol  We gifted out vitamins to the kids and they were much appreciative!!  The lights came back on for the 1st division practice, so we stayed til the end and gifted out vitamins to them too...and sadly said out good-byes to those kids.  They have all made us feel so welcome, tomorrow is going to be hard......
