More about the soup kichen and future projects



Another day at the Puno church projects.. The little nursery is a small day-centre group. I enjoying being with the kids and helping along with everything.. from putting the baby to sleep to running around comforting the little ones in the mornings because they don’t want to leave their mums.. but they are really happy and call me 'tio' soon enough..

These are more photos of the day of the ‘campesino’ (the country man). Most came dressed up and brought their typical food from this region..





















Ihave more photos of the little baby as I have to look after him often, and one day looked after him all day.. as his young mother was in university doing exams till late…


































I
Iwant to flag up the soup kitchen again..
I was thinking how this project could be helped.. to cover the cost of food, they charge very little.. I was thinking that we or a number of people could take this on.. So then they can charge nothing and even get more to come that really need the food..

Today a wee girl came and cried for ages. She is an orphan who is now being looked after by an auntie that she is really scared of. She said that her auntie would not allow her to come any more.. but the wee girl would.. I don’t know the real reason, but I suspect it's because of finances. Some of these kids as you can see are very undernourished.. Sometimes the mum or auntie just leaves a bowl of potatoes before they go to work,, the kid gets that for breakfast then when back from school gets the same,,






If we could look into the idea of supporting this project we could reach even more kids that really need it..

They say for a week it costs 120 soles.. That is 26 pounds.. a week or 104 every 4 weeks..If we could get 10 people to give 10.4 pound every 4 weeks this could cover the costs for about 12 kids.. for 4 weeks.. with out charging them at all...
Or if we could get 20 poeple to give about 5.2 evey 4 weeks this could work too..
If you are intrested in this send me an email.. Jd_lovell84@hotmail.com










I don’t know.. There are so many needs everywhere, but I can say I know these kids and they are grateful for anything they get.. and its not just food but creating a caring environment with a Christian attitude to things.

But they would like to have about 20..


They also would like prayer about opening this up to be an ´open children´s home´.. This would mean the kids are here during the day to eat and do homework, and get sent off to school clean and ready and happy,., then at night they go to ther homes... this would run week days only..
Is this possible?.. `pray for this,, God can do anything but he want us to be in on it too..not to be alone on it.. So let us pray..
