So, I spent a week in the FREAKING AMAZON RAIN FOREST! hahah it was interesting...very interesting! We stayed with a family that are in the process of building an orphanage in the rain forest. Their heart is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment for the children. This area of Peru is known to be home to a large number of orphans, and with out guides 

they usually end up being mixed up in gangs, prostitution, and a lack of self worth.

It is a really cool project to be apart of, and I am super glad I got to play a small role in helping them out. While there, my team got to work on cleaning up the banana trees! We had to pull out the worlds biggest weeds! It was hard work, but now i am so muscular so its a win! LOL 
The family still needs a lot of help to get their goal complete; they need short term help as well as long term help. If you are feeling called to work with kids, in fields such as social worker, nutritionist, teacher, or if you have gifts in construction, cooking, landscaping, and would love to go on an adventure to the amazon, YOU should consider joining this ministry. Email me and I can get you in contact with the lovely family!
