Fr. Christian and I were fortunate enough to be able to travel down to the country of El Salvador from June 3-8 to visit Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH). NPH is a home for orphaned and abandoned children, and they have 9 houses in Latin America. It is an organization that aims to provide children with the skills to break the cycle of poverty. It is an organization that truly works. Visit their website to learn more.For safety reasons, the two of us didn't venture off the grounds of NPH El Salvador, but we did take a stroll around the grounds. It is a beautiful home full of wonderful children and staff.
We dubbed our walk the "Easiest Hike Ever" because it was all flat and concrete. Although, I think I was sweating more in the El Salvador heat and sun than I ever have on a hike here in the Smokies, but that's a personal problem. We guesstimated that the entire hike was around 0.5 mile. We ran into some of the kids, and FC played a quick game of soccer.
I hope you enjoy these brief snapshots that don't do the real thing justice.
A little bird told me that the next Humdinger project will be the kick off for our pancake house contest. Our goal is to visit every pancake house that surrounds the park, and then we will determine which one is the best!
I'm jealous. The hike sounds like one I could manage (without the soccer game)... what a beautiful country. (I can also do pancakes...)
ReplyDeleteEsteban, you should come down with us the next trip! Then we can hike ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat an ominous task to determine the BEST pancake house in the area! I've often wondered - someday we'll know. Thanks guys.
