Back to ATEK

Team 2 got back from the second village/kid's camp. It wasn't so much a village as a town. This was the first time this particular town had held a kid's Bible camp. We were all housed in a church and meals were served in the back yard. There were about 100 kids, but the number seemed to grow for the lunch and supper meals. The kids were organized into color groups and our job was to be in charge of serving one of the groups for all the meals. We were responsible for collecting the cups, plates and spoons afterwards and "washing" them under a faucet of luke warm water. We also took the kids down to a large concrete pad near a school in the town and playing games with them. Our purpose on this trip was to take care of the serving type jobs so that the teachers could focus on teaching the kids. It was a blessing for us to experience the openness, love and physical attention of the children. They loved learning English words and also asked us what our names were. Our empty hands were often filled with the hands of loving children. They loved hugs and touching. One girl kept touching my hair as some of our team were peeling potatoes in the kitchen. Even though we didn't know the language, we were able to share many laughs and exchanges of information with the Peruvians who were helping us. They thought it quite funny how inadequate we were with using a knife to peel potatoes, and there was some comparing of potato peel lengths, as well as tips given as to how to accurately hold and use the knives. They mentioned how tall we were and found it humorous to see that my son was taller than me. We had a soccer tournament on the second day there. We are happy to report that we won against the teachers. There were a couple of strong players on their team, but Seth's skills helped carry us through to a win. Jeff was an awesome goalie and the rest of us directed the ball as best we could. It was 0-0 after the first half. During the second half Seth scored three goals and they scored 2. The second half lasted a lot longer than the first half and we were a bit worried that they would keep playing until they won, but the whistle was finally blown to end the game. The game attracted the attention of two police officers. Fun was had by all! Jennifer Team 1 was at ATEK today for another day with the kids. We had planned to teach them to sing a song but they wanted to go to 'El Parkay' so off we went for another round at the park. We had figured out at this point that all the children needed a hand to hold since we cross the highway as well as the 'dog park' on the way there. Unfortunately some of the children tend to like to 'mark their territory' at the park which proves embarrassing for us when the Spanish women ask if those children are ours. We had fun regardless and a few of us (Amanda and I) were able to carry the babies on our backs like the Peruvian women. Afterwards we made Sammi's craft of sombreros with the children which consisted of our numerous paper plates with hole punches and yarn. The kids LOVED it and we found it humorous. They really have warmed up to us and many of us will miss them. The biggest joke is when they try and pair off team members with each other. Today they decided to touch one team members' lips and then run to a team member of the opposite gender and do the same to imitate a kiss. Their affection and jokes make me smile whereas other team members role their eyes and prefer to have their space (it's more because we're at the end of our time here). The encouragement is to finish well and love the children even though they don't understand boundaries all the time:) . Machu Picchu is tomorrow so we will have an early morning but I'm hoping it will be a good full day instead of a hectic one. Only a few more days here in Peru, looking forward to seeing our family! Brianna The answer to yesterdays' guess who is, Stephanie! Although nearly every time I've caught myself laughing at someone else's misfortune I find myself in the same situation. i.e. Today I was the one who had a wet child ;)
