I will be living on a childrens compound and will be helping out with homework clubs, sports clubs and will help run a kids club called Kids Alive.
For the last week I have been heavily involved in helping run a kids club in Wichanzao. Wichanzao is on the edge of Trujillo and is one of the poorest areas in the city. The Church seen to the right was very small yet we had many children attend our club and many adults attend the salon that we made for those 3 days. The spa included haircuts and manicures and I witnessed a girl getting her first haircut at the age of nine.
The first day we arrived I was overwhelmed at the poverty that goes on in Trujillo. Many came to Christ over the three days that we were here and I pray that the Church here continues to grow.

| My amazing 5th Grade Class |
Although I am excited to once again be travelling I am sad to leave behind the school that I have been working at for over a month now.
My students are hilarious and begged me to take "selfies" with them so here is the best one. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching and I am looking forward to September as I start my training to become a qualified teacher. Hopefully when I return to Trujillo before moving on again I will go back to the school and teach further.
My next blog post will be posted when I return from the jungle.
So bye for now.
