June 14 & 15

Welcome from all of us here in Lima.   Yesterday and today we were very busy.  Dr Krueger has seen many patients, and they are so greatful to have him here for treatment.  Donna has been busy with physical therapy with both children and their moms.  Today she had a couple of men in the class as well.  Katie and Mark have been busy helping with the children as they go to the park for picnics.  They are so much fun to have with us on our mission trip.  Sharon has been very helpful in the music department with instuments she brought with her.  The children love it.  Cathy helped set up the pharmacy and teach how to do blood pressure checks.  Today Cathy went to a very poor part of Peru to assist with dental evaluations.  Alene has helped in so many areas like the pharmacy, physical therapy and also helped Judy with inventory of the school property.  Judy has been busy doing inventory with the help of Mark, Katie, and Alene.  Judy has worked on inputing the information on a spreadsheet for the school.  Georgia has been so busy with the patients doing paper work to help Dr Kruger.  Georgia has also done two presentations for the parents on how to care for oneself as caregivers.  Tonight Dr Kruger and Georgia did a question and answer session in the auditorium for the families.  We had a very good turn out and again the families were so greatful to have us here.  The people we have met with here are so loving and caring, they make us feel very welcomed.  Our hosts Gladys and Raul have been wonderful to take us to and from the school and also feeding us.  They are so much fun to be with.  Lilliana Mayo is the founder of the school and what a wonderful person she is.  All of the school personel have made our time here so rewarding with the help they give to us.  The children here are remarkable with all they have accomplished.  They are truly a blessing to all of us.
