Thursday began with the usual breakfast at
the Hostel Torreblanca followed by another group talk by Edith about Peru, what
we will do today, and what we did yesterday. After this, Edith took my father
and me to PPA, while Irene and Paulette made their way to La Molina. In La
Molina, things seemed to go the same as the way they did on Wednesday and
everyone seemed to have an enjoyable day. Paulette finally became well enough
to eat the ice cream that she wasn’t able to have the day before and seemed
very happy to finally be able to try some creamy Peruvian ice cream. At PPA, my
father continued with his labor project working with Edith while I continued to
have an especially enjoyable day with the babies in Niño Jesús. The second part
of our day was much different than usual. We took our three siblings - Walter,
Harold, and César - out to lunch at La Comer and gave them a traditional
American birthday party. The kids seemed taken aback at all the mall had to
offer, including an arcade they played in and escalators they rode. The day
with the three siblings came to an end when we gave them all their presents and
they went back happily and content to PPA. A wonderful day ended with a tasty
dinner with Paulette, my father, and me at the Super Rueda; Irene decided to
stay back. This day was by far my favorite day and also the most fulfilling day
I have ever spent volunteering in Peru
