What We Have Found in Peru


We are in Peru, where we have found



Lots of horns

Lots of mist

An ocean behind us

Crazy taxi rides

A small, warm hotel

An amazing, giving, fearless leader

Two thousand kinds of potatoes

Pisco sour, coca cola cero

A team of friends come and gone



We are here to give to PPA, where 

Every day is different

Every child is deserving

of attention and care and respect



We are challenged with

Messages we cannot understand

Histories we do not know

Situations we have never seen



Each day holds the promise of 

Joy, frustration, relief, surprise, 

Hard work, laughter, privilege, 

Enlightenment, competence and confusion. 



Each night brings more clearly the knowledge that we cannot fix everything, and give everyone what we know they need, and for now, thankfully, holds the promise of a chance to try again, to do better, to do as much as we can the best we can, tomorrow.
