A Taste of Peru

Prior to our Shoes for Orphan Souls trip to Peru, a friend/co-worker, who is from Peru, invited us to her house for dinner. Cecilia fixed salad, a corn casserole and Chupe (pictured here) and Flan for dessert. It was a wonderful meal and a fun time of visiting with her and her family.

Starting it up again

I decided it's time to "fire up" the 'ole blog here and start some posting.  The big event is a Buckner Shoe Trip to Peru.  We fly out on June 4th and return on the 13th.  In addition to putting shoes on the kids, we will be doing a 1/2 day VBS at each orphanage we go to.  That's a lot of kids.    We got our list of VBS and humanitarian supplies only recently and so we are scrambling to get all the things we need.  If you want to help, go to the list to see what you can get.  But contact us first, to make sure that supply has not already been received.  Our deadline is Sunday, May 30th, so that we can purchase what has not been received and organize the packing.  We, of course, will take cash to make purchases or take with us to Peru and make purchases there.
