Life in Lima

I lived in Lima for two weeks and here I got to working with homeless people who are addicted to drugs, children who have to work during the night cleaning cars to provide for their families, and families that live in slums around the city. It was a hard too weeks, but was so worth it and truly an amazing experience. 

Last night in Lima, with some amazing people, who I miss so much! 

Franko, a six year old boy who lives in a slum in Lima. 

Joseph, a nine year old who lives in the slums.
