Mission Peru

by Matias Calzato, Bolton Alliance Church

There have been a couple of days where we have been doing construction and I noticed how at home we use a lot of machinery which will basically do the job for you and here we use tools which are much harder to use since we don’t use powered tools. Here’s an example: Instead of using a hedge trimmer to cut small branches we use machetes. Something else I realised is that if you live here, you have to work much harder to get a smaller amount of money than you would get back home in Canada which really makes me appreciate everything we have. I have met many Peruvian kids during the time I have been here so far and I really enjoy the time with these children, just like Jesus with his children, which is us.
