Our JULY 4TH celebration...

Today we were in San Juan de Lurigancho at the public elementary school.  We were there to serve the families of yesterday’s students. We saw over 600 people from the community.  For the second day in a row we had the help of St. Thomas More Students and staff. They were a joy to work with, full of energy and commitment a great help for the TWECS doctors.  Today was  long and hard, up at 6:45 am  and back to the hotel after 8 pm. Tomorrow will be our last day up on the slopes of the Andes foothills.
