Manthoc

Today I had the pleasure of visiting a school with children who are in poverty.  The school is called Manthoc.  The "h" is silent.  We went on the intention of creating a relationship with the children in Manthoc and our more privileged children from Davy.  The morning was wonderful.  The school welcomed us with open arms and the children played ice breaker games, had a snack together and went on a tour of the school.  As you will see in the pictures if you can read spanish which I am improving everyday.  Their mission is about teaching children, young children, how to work and gain skills that will provide them a job in Cajamarca or another Peruvian community as well as teach them the other basics.  In this school they have a garden that they tend, a cuy farm that they manage, they are building a greenhouse, they have a bakery, and a wood-shop which isn't doing very well because they are unable to find enough materials.

That was a great potato with sauce and an egg dish. You couldn't of handled it because it had spice in the sauce. This was a snack, lunch was chicken milanese with an avocado salad and dressing.
