Day 12 – Sacred Service to special orphans
(Thursday, July 4)
Today we have a special opportunity to engage in our highest calling – sacred service to others…and the natural expression of the love and joy that will be overflowing in your heart!
We will volunteer for a couple of hours at a girl’s orphanage in Cusco helping the poorest of the poor and victims of neglect and abuse. A special activity will be planned where we will have the opportunity to play in joy with these sweet souls.
We will be transferring to our hotel in downtown Cusco – the beautiful Andean Wings Boutique Hotel where we will spend our last two nights.
Orphanage / After School Program
We will volunteer at Hogar de Ninos San Judas orphanage in Cusco helping the poorest of the poor. We will be engaging in games, photo booth and an art project.
Hogar de Niñas San Judas Chico, a home to about 40 sweet Peruvian girls between the ages of 6 and 17. San Judas is a place for girls whose families are unable to properly take care of them, many of the girls were rescued from violent homes, where relatives abused them or abandoned them to seek a better future elsewhere. San Judas is all they have to call their own.
Our 2 hour visit will focus on playing and having fun with these lovely girls and bringing them gifts that they need (such as shoes and shampoo). Most of all it will focus on giving these lovely little girls a chance for fun and a memorable day. It is one of the most fulfilling things that we will do….your heart will be filled to overflowing!
See photos of our group volunteering with these angels! (Well, more like playing actually….)
