Voluntary Activity @ "UN DIA DE ESPERANZA"

On Sunday 13 of november we visited an association called "UN DIA DE ESPERANZA" that means "ONE DAY OF HOPE". In this place boys and girls from 5  to 17 years old that are HIV-positive gather. They are afflicted by this decease and keeping their hopes up is what this place is all about. The people in this organization are doing a great job.

So we decided that we wanted to visit them and learn their situation. We organized activities that all could relate to. Starting with an improv game that quickly helped memorize that names of all of us. Then we did another game that was really fun that consisted in becoming a object or person and then rapidly someone else had to join in and compliment the scene. After this group games, we splitter in smaller teams. While some learn how to play peruvian instruments others learned how to Latin Dance. Then we had a great party with all that had been learned.

Then at noon we had lunch. Pepe using his cooking mastery prepared all of us an entrée and a main course. We all enjoyed it and specially the kids. We ate a lot.

This place has much to offer this kids and they are just beginning. In a near future they will be able to accommodate them here, so they can live and receive their treatment all in the same location.

This was just one of the many Voluntary Activities that we have planned. We wish to come back soon and help them out to set up the place for the kids.
