Roof! Roof! Roof!



Or "¡Gau, gau, gau!" as we would say here in Peru. Big event this Sat.- the second annual "Roof Dog Run." Our special friends in Plano at Christ Church use this event to raise funds for our 2 orphanages here in Arequipa. We did our part here as you can see. Of course our course was a bit shorter! While the Plano dogs ran a more rugged event, we did races and paraded the three blocks with our roof-dog shirts and white balloons. It was a hot day so water was a must. In the kids opinions so was the nice cold ice cream, too! When everyone got back to San José, Father Ron passed out (no he didn´t "PASS OUT,") he passed out pictures to all the kids from the last visit of the Roof Dog Team in February. The kids enjoyed seeing the team members and how they themselves were growing. Thanks to our friends from abroad, we have just been able to get 18 pair of glasses recently, and are close to getting a van (PRAISE GOD!) for transportation. We look forward to getting a security system in place at Sagrada Familia, and we have hired a "watchiman"(security guard) for San José.
