Don DeFiore, MSF Team Member - Peru - Jan. 2009
My trip to Lima '09
I can't get over the change I have been fortunate enough to witness first hand. Not only on the site of the Day Care Center in Manchay, but this general plot of land in Peru. The first time I saw the site all there was to look at was a lot of dirt and rock, and a couple of brick shells. As I left the site on this past Friday, there were almost 90 children waving goodbye, smiling and practicing their English. A far different picture than years ago.
These children now have a safe place to stay, learn and play while their parents work. A place with food, running water, and a working toilet! These are luxury items to most people who live in this area. During the week I had a chance to work on the orphanage in Pachacamac. Another amazing project that is well under way. I have grown as a person being part of a team from THE MITCHELL SWABACK FOUNDATION who is devoted to making a difference. It has been a pleasure and a life changing experience and I thank you!
