Peru Crew
Almost every year since 2004, North Street has sent teams of people to work on orphanage build projects in Latin America. We finished one in Guatemala. We finished one in the Dominican Republic. This year we continued work on an orphange complex in Peru. Our team of volunteers organized a group of people from Goderich and area to work at two of the houses for the children of Peru. We worked hard. We played hard. Some of the older children worked side-by-side with us. We got blisters. We got sunburns. We got high-fives and hugs. Everyone agrees: It's an awesome experience.
We are going again in February, 2013. Want to learn more? Call Andy at 519-524-1135.
