We are heading back to South America for our next country…Peru. This post will have many pictures that I took on my trip in August 2010. This country and Compassion’s ministry there holds a special place in my heart.
Compassion's work in Peru began in 1985. Currently, more than 48,700 children participate in more than 220 child development centers.
