Two Januarys ago 17 girls stayed 10 days at an orphanage in Peru, worked with 7 orphan girls, and made a major difference.
It's been such a blessing to get to return to the Casa del Aguila orphanage in Limatambo during these past 5 months here in Peru. The first day I went back was almost exactly a year since I had been there. As we walked around, we entered a back office. A dark haired, dark eyed, big smiled girl looked up, and in shock said, "Adriana!" I could NOT believe that Maria remembered my name. I at least had been prepared with my pictures from last year, reviewing all the girls names, but for her, I came out of nowhere!
Since that day, I've been back three times. Everytime, all the girls ask about EACH member of our YWAM team-- just 17 girls who came and loved.
Don't discount the things you do. Little things make a big difference.
