Meeting the Group & City Tour


This morning, the 9 of us met as a group for the first time. Our group consists of people of all different backgrounds. 6 are retirees. The other 3 of us are in our 30's/40's. We have a dentist, 2 pharmacists, a retired teacher, retired health care workers, and a couple who are retired retail shop owners. Everyone seems to bring their own style and personality to the group.

In my group, no one speaks Spanish, making me the best Spanish speaker with my kindergarten comprehension level (which is kinda scary). I am going to try to absorb as much of the language as I can while I'm here.


I will be starting work at the PPA tomorrow. I have been assigned to work with the infants (children under 2) in the morning and the 3 year olds in the afternoon. I am really looking forward to working with these age groups. Other work projects include supervising sibling visitations and helping with kids' physical therapy. I will tell you more about these assignments later this week.


Today we also went on a city tour of Lima and visited St. Francis' Church, which was beautiful. There are many colorful, extremely beautiful buildings in downtown Lima. .
