Bringing The Hope in Peru

Some friends of mine just got back from Peru and man did they do some good on their trip. 

Our friends traveled to visit the Hogar Orphanage outside of Cusco, Peru, where they  partnered with a group called Peruvian Hearts to buy new mattresses, pillows, sheets and blankets for 30 girls living in the orphanage. Prior to the donation, the girls were sleeping uncomfortably on thin foam pads that were very old.

My friend said, "the girls were so excited to pick out the color for their mattresses and their new sheets that you would have thought it was Christmas.  “They couldn’t wait to go to sleep that night and it was such a great experience to help meet some of their needs.”

Then, a really cool thing happened.  Our friends were travelling with 10 other people on their trip and the group was so inspired by the mattress donation that pitched in too.  The group of 10 raised $1,000 to purchase 30 blankets and backpacks for the girls.

I love that.  Bringing the hope is contagious.
