One Step at a time!

Dear all,

It is so fantastic how God uses us even when we are insecure, He leads us into victory!

Today "Toward a dignified life for the children of Peru" took the first step into becoming a proper organization. I visited a goverment office, with a little apprehension, not knowing how many hours it would take me to find out if we could be called "Por una vida digna para los ninhos del Peru as well as "Toward a dignified life for the children of Peru".
As you can imagine all paper work is very burocratic here, so I was very surprised when after filling a form and paying a fee, they informed me that I could go to the 2. floor and wait some minutes...and receive the permit! I was back home with the two documents in less than an hour and a half!
We now have the right to use both names in Peru. The reason that we want the name in two languages is that many supporters do not speak Spanish.

This coming Sunday we will be having a meeting with the board of the Home in Callao. Please pray for this, as a good cooperation and good chemistry is very important!

Also I have got an idea! As some of you know I dance with a group of ladies, some blocks from where I live. So I have asked them if they would like to come and hold an "Hora loca " (Party time), with the kids in the Home in Callao. They liked the idea and asked me to present a plan.

Here is my plan: Instead of only coming with balloons and the like, I am going to ask them to sell some raffles to their friends and relatives, and use the money we receive to buy cleaning utensils like mops and window cleaners. As you can see from the pictures they really need help with a thorough cleaning. I have already another idea for who is going to help us to do the cleaning...but this is for the next blog! Please pray for me, as this is a new activity for the group, until now it has been very party minded!

To Him be the glory!
