Dear Bruce,
Thank you for
providing the opportunity to help the children of Peru.
Bruce Peru is
addressing a need that everyone else overlooks - the needs of children
left out of a presumably free and accessible educational system. In
our search for volunteer work we wanted something challenging, where
we could truly feel part of a community and where we could see our
contribution at work every day. What better place than Bruce Peru!
We worked hard - but we did this out of love for the children and
commitment to the mission. Who can question the mission of
educating young children? And what better reward than the smiling
faces that greeted us every day! Working side-by-side with Peruvian
volunteers, teaching classes in reading, writing and arithmetic,
coordinating essential services and programs for the kids -- it was all
worthwhile. In our 6 months with Bruce Peru we saw a lot and made many
friends. It was so, so hard to go; however, we will carry the memories
forever and plan to support you wherever we are. Thank you and
best wishes in all your endeavors, Elizabeth and
Chris. |
